NEXTFEST 2023 takes place in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Nextfest works on a presentation model similar to the Fringe Festival. Projects are chosen and curated within the festival run but the project itself is lead by a producer who oversees the content and creation of the project as well as all artists associated with the project and all design elements such as set, costumes, etc.

(If you are pitching a project that does not come with a traditional script, please use the Pitch
A Project- Live Event form: https://forms.gle/wDAhcxwjFsV4DnRr8).

(If you are submitting for a digital event, please use a Digital Project Submission Form)

Please return your submission by January 20, 2023 at 11:59 pm
