A special evening of performances featuring young artists who were awarded appearances in the Annual FBISF Youth Showcase. Through an application process, FBISF selects youth songwriters for an annual showcase which is presented before an audience of students from surrounding schools. Part of the FBIFFM Educational Outreach Program, the annual showcase awards scholarships and a paid performance in the FBISF. Tonight, the selected artists for 2023 will perform their own original songs at Lulu’s, Gulf Shores, which has been a long term sponsor of the annual showcase.
