Win the chance to play at Knight at the Castle at Edinburgh Castle in October (deadline 15 August)

Join the neon knight and see the castle in a new light. Part of the Year of Young People 2018 events programme, Knight at the Castle is a unique opportunity to experience Edinburgh Castle like never before and enjoy a programme showcasing young Scottish creative talent. As part of this event we are offering an incredible opportunity for a young act to join the programme and perform a fully paid set at the event.

So if you are a performer of any medium, whether that be spoken word, musicians, performance artists or more, aged between 18 and 26, this could be your big chance.
To enter all you have to do is send us a short 30 second video telling us who you are, what your act is and what inspires you about performing at this unique venue. The winner will be picked by a special panel of young people.

Send your video to promotions@list.co.uk no later than 15 Aug 2018. The winner will receive a performance fee and expenses.
Edinburgh Castle
Friday 5th October
7pm-10pm
