The youth of Shoreline, 18 or younger, with a musical act of any kind are invited to compete in Shoreline Youth Jam. The event, organized and sponsored by the City of Shoreline & multiple neighborhood groups, is a contest that features a live audience, professional sound, and constructive feedback by judges from the local music scene. Performers will be arranged into showcase segments (2-3 songs) and prizes will be awarded in several categories.

Any recorded media is acceptable, including but not limited to: videos, thumb drives, CD-Rs, & tapes. For more details or to submit material, please contact Scott Becker (contact info below).

Tickets for the show will be sold at the door for $2. A limited number of free tickets will be provided to each participant for family or friends.
