Last call for the Big Fresno Fair’s local performer contest
UPDATE: Consider this now a not-so-last call. The fair has extended the deadline until July 15. So now you have two more weeks to get your video set, local bands.
ORIGINAL POST: Last year, The Big Fresno Fair rolled out a new contest that effectively turned one of its nights into a local music festival. Six local bands played on the fair’s Pavilion Stage. From dozens of entrants, the winners were chosen through an online vote.
Sound good, local bands? Want to get in on that action? Well, the fair is doing it again — and the deadline to get your band in the competition is tomorrow. Here’s some more info:
The fair’s second annual Local Performer Contest is accepting applications until July 1, with the winners performing at a showcase 5-11 p.m. on Oct. 13.
Acts of all genres from Fresno, Merced, Mariposa, Kings, Tulare and Kern counties are encouraged to enter. To do so, submit videos at fresnofair.com.
Videos can be up to 10 minutes long or 500 megabytes. They can be live performance videos, or recorded music set to a photo slide show.
From there, online votes will determine the top six acts. The first phase of voting is July 8-22, where the entrants will be narrowed down to 25.
A second round of voting July 29-Aug. 12 will determine the ultimate winners.
We all know you’ve got videos of your band on YouTube and Facebook already, so send one of those the fair’s way.

The video submissions are lacking quality! They could all use a lot of help and improvement except for Patrick Contreras because Akira Productions filmed it! The difference in quality is night and day! For any artists that want to improve the quality of their videos, contact us at http://www.facebook.com/akiraproductions
Just an FYI, deadline has been extended to JULY 15th! There is still some time to get your entries in
The band, Nowhere Near, is excited to be involved in the Big Fresno Fair’s local music festival contest. We hope to earn the support of Fresno’s local music fans. Rock on!
