Emerson Special Events
The Beast of Bozeman
Join the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture on our inaugural search for the best performance artist in Bozeman! This performance art competition begins with the very first audition on Friday, January 20, 2023 and ends with the show of all shows and the crowning of The Beast of Bozeman Saturday, March 4.
Over the course of this series our fearless performers will have the opportunity to appear in one of our 2 Semi Finals where they will be adjudicated by local professionals excelling in their field. From the Semi Finals our incredible judges will narrow down our artists to the top 15 performers. However, there can only be one Beast. The top 15 performers will then come together to vie for the audience vote, cash and prizes, and the honor of being The Beast of Bozeman.
PRIZES
1st Place – The Beast of Bozeman
$1000 Cash
2nd Place

3rd Place

All 3 winners will be invited back to be featured at a future Emerson event.
