Life Is Beautiful, the Downtown music and arts festival celebrating its 10th year in Las Vegas this September, will again invite local acts to compete for a spot on the lineup.

The festival’s annual Rising Stars competition, set to take place August 4-5 and 11-12 at the Space, is accepting submissions through June 14. Past winners have included R&B singer Tanna Marie, pop-punk sibling trio The Dollheads and indie chip-tune band Decaying Tigers.

“Providing a platform to be seen and heard has been one of our biggest missions since introducing Rising Stars in 2021,” Craig Nyman, director of music, programming and development for Life Is Beautiful, said in a statement. “Partnering with the Space to bring 16 artists from our state to their stage is a really exciting opportunity as we gear up for this year’s festival.”

Judges will select four finalists, who will compete for the spot on August 18.
