Thanks to the hundreds of artists who submitted. All submissions are reviewed based on artistic discipline by the Up Here Programming Committees. The evaluation process is based on artistic merit, the timing of latest releases, the pertinence of the project with this year's theme (less relevant for musical projects), and pairing with other artists in the lineup.

Submissions can be submitted in English or in French. We receive over 500 artist submissions every year. All submissions will be reviewed thoroughly, but due to the high volume of submissions, only successful applicants will be contacted.
