CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a widespread impact, Clarksville Parks & Recreation is adapting the traditional three-day Riverfest celebration into nearly two weeks of in-person and virtual events.
The Riverfest Virtual Talent Competition is included in the lineup of events, and tonight at 11:59 p.m. is the deadline for contest entries.
Participants have until Aug. 26 to complete an online application that includes a video of their performance that is no more than four minutes in length. Finalists will be selected on Aug. 27 by a diverse panel of judges. Final videos will be posted online Sept. 1-11 for the public to vote on their favorite. The winner will be announced on Sept. 12 and will perform before the Riverfest 2021 headliner.
“We know Clarksville has talented people in every corner,” said Kara Zahn, Event Planning Supervisor for Clarksville Parks & Recreation. “This is a great opportunity to showcase those talents and possibly perform in front of thousands of people next year!”
The five finalists videos will be reshot and produced by Clarksville Parks & Recreation once selected.
