Week of April 14, 2024: PIMF is still accepting auditions for all of our summer music programs. As the festival is just months away, we make a point of sending acceptance letters at the earliest possible date - often within 48 hours of receiving audition materials. Once a program is full - we post an announcement stating such on the corresponding program page, and perspective participants are placed on a Waiting List. If you do not see an announcement at the top of a program page - there are still openings14

  2. On the PIMF landing page that comes up, select your program in the first drop-down box to the left.
  3. Select the week(s) you plan to attend from the second drop-down box.
  4. At this point the page will change to “Guidelines” and you can click the green “Apply” button at the bottom of the page.
  5. If you are not already logged in to an Acceptd account, you will then be asked to log in.
    • If you do not yet have an Acceptd account, you may click the words “Sign Up” to create an account.
    • Please note: this is a separate platform and a separate account from the one used for registration via the PIMF website.
    • If you have not used Acceptd before you will need to create a new account.
    • If you do create a new account, it may bounce you back to the homepage and you will need to navigate back to the landing page, choose your program options again, and click the green “Apply” button again.
  6. You will then be directed to fill out a brief form, followed by a second screen where you will upload your audition audio/video, followed by a third screen where you will enter payment information. (Please note: the $35 fee is charged by the Acceptd platform and is non-refundable. This fee is what allows PIMF to process hundreds of annual auditions with efficiency, fairness, and speed.)
