Artist Submission

Now accepting artists’ submissions for 2027

BIMF Friends and Artists,

We are always pleased to receive submissions from artists, and there are numerous opportunities to perform at the Beaver Island Music Festival or our other events. We select artists who are original, diverse, and have a desire to perform on Beaver Island.

Please note: Our annual submission deadline is November 1st of the year before the next festival. 

To make the application process easier, you can now submit your application below. If you want to apply or know a group you’d love to see at the festival, you’ll find all the requirements to submit to BIMF below.

It is essential in our selection process that you include the following:

• Contact number
• E-mail
• The number of performing members who would be attending if selected
• What kind of music do you perform-genre
• Information about your group-brief bio
• Links and websites (CD is not necessary if you can provide links to samples of your music)
• Spotify link

Please send press kits to the BIMF Selection Committee, PO Box 23, Beaver Island, MI 49782, or email beaverislandmusicfest@gmail.com with questions.

Our committee makes all of its selections after November 1st of each year. We select only one group from each genre. Note: No group can perform at the festival for more than two years in a row, so that we can continue to bring new talented musicians to Beaver Island. We will contact you by mid-January if your group is selected to perform at this year’s festival. We will post our final lineup by April at the latest.

If you are not selected this year, please continue to submit for future years. Remember that we also have an open-mic session open to all performers during the festival.

We look forward to hearing from your group and wish you the best of luck with this year’s selection!
