The purpose of industry alternative showcase is to give unsigned artist a platform to display their talents.
With so many showcases to compete with, the reason for the industry’s alternative success is because of the focus on the art of the performance.
Apex:
Every single artist out there needs an outlet to really shine in front of a productive environment, to bring the masses to see what the undiscovered is doing.
At every showcase there is a group of professionals, from A&Rs, Management Companies, Producers and Record Execs that actually judge each performance and nominate the winner.

We try to make it almost like American Idol, where the artist perform in front of a panel of industry judges… to help these artist and point them in the right direction
These unsigned artist aren’t the only one with goals in mind, the industry’s alternative team also have a vision on where they would like to see this popular showcase go.
