The 18th Annual International Folk Alliance Conference, For The Sake Of The Song, will be held February 10-14, 2006 at the Austin Hilton Hotel in Austin, TX. Showcase opportunities are available and the deadline for application, which had originally been set for May 31, was extended to allow for more artists to be involved. That new deadline of October 3 is rapidly approaching so any acts that would like to be considered had better get moving. There is a $35 application fee for Folk Alliance members and a $50 fee for non-members.

Showcase applications forms can be downloaded from the Folk Alliance web site.
