To have your act considered, please include: the contact person for the act, email address, phone number and the school you will be representing. If you will be doing a solo act, please include that information. Acts this year will be limited to 4 minutes.

The committee will review all submissions and decisions will be made by the end of October. You will be notified by email.

If you didn't attend, there is a video of the acts from last year on the MNRS Foundation's webpage.
