Juried Showcases feature 24 jury-selected, tour-ready performers representing diverse genres, styles, and abilities. These 15-minute sets are performed on full production stages at the in person conference. In a commitment to provide a more equitable representation of the entire arts community, OAPN has pledged to support our equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility mission by offering sponsorships to qualifying Ohio artists in order to achieve a diverse representation in programming across all stages. To perform an Official Juried Showcase, performers must apply, and await approval by a board of jurors. Official Juried Showcases are not awarded more than one year in a row.
