Last year, audiences saw 20 films that were viewed over 45,000 times, according to the Foundation. The festival site was viewed over 38,000 times by 6,750 unique visitors. The Music Prize hosted a live eight-hour broadcast music festival featuring local and regional acts. As the country works to recover from all the shutdowns, organizers are optimistic this year’s show will not disappoint the faithful who gravitate to the event each autumn.
Attendance prices range from $10 to $30 for most events, while enhanced access can run as high as $250 for the entire festival. Details and numerous options are explained on the festival website.
Complete information on the events planned this year and the complete updated schedule are also included on the festival’s website prizefest.com.
