About the event
About the application
Dream Con’s "Live at the Dream Stage" is free to apply and registration is currently open.
For 2026, Dream Con Presents: Live at the Dream Stage! Do you think you have that X Factor? Do you think you are going to be the next pop Idol? Or maybe you just want to show off your Voice? This isn't your regular Star Search. No, we are looking for the brightest and best singers and rappers to perform on our Dream Stage!
This event isn't Karaoke Night. Dream Con is looking for our undiscovered Fantasia, Jamal Roberts, or Latto to show up and show out. Whether you are a living room performer or a professional artist, we want you "Live at the Dream Stage".
Please be sure to read through our rules and guidelines carefully before submitting your application as a participant. If you have any additional questions, comments or concerns, please reach out to us at programming@dreamconvention.com.
