4 LOCAL BANDS. ONE ULTIMATE CHAMPION.

Submissions are now open! Apply by September 8, 2026

Field Hall is looking for four local bands to compete in our first-ever Battle of the Bands on November 14th. Here’s what you need to know:

WHO CAN APPLY?

  • Bands must be based on the North Olympic Peninsula, from Forks to Port Townsend, and have a North Olympic Peninsula address.
  • All genres welcome! Original songs and covers encouraged!
  • Bands that have previously performed at Field Hall are welcome to apply, but bands that have had a full Field Hall Presents show in The Donna M. Morris theater are not eligible.
  • Send applications to artistic@fieldhallevents.org with your video link and application materials.

WHAT SHOULD I SUBMIT? 

  • A 1–2 minute video featuring one song that best represents your band’s sound and stage presence. Please submit a single performance (not a highlight reel). Video should be submitted as a YouTube or Vimeo link (can be unlisted) rather than a file attached to the email.
  • Band name and short bio for introductions and marketing.
  • High-resolution band photos.
  • Primary point of contact with email and phone number

WHAT CAN FINALISTS EXPECT? 

Four selected bands will each perform a 20-minute set on November 14th, in front of an audience. The winner will be determined by QR code audience voting.

THE FINAL PRIZE

The winning band will headline a paid Field Hall show in the 2027–2028 season, either in the Donna M. Morris Theater or Sunset Lounge.
