APPLICATION MATERIALS

To be considered in the first round of auditions, all applicants must submit a completed application and upload upload a video with all four song selections.

Video Application Instructions:

Step 1:
Create an account on Vimeo (if you don’t already have one). The Vimeo Basic Account is free to sign up for and simply requires a name, email and password. You will have to verify the account via an email they will send you to begin uploading.

Step 2:
Upload your video audition. There is an “Upload A Video” button in the upper right part of the Welcome/Home screen. Follow the instructions to locate your video audition file and upload. There is an upload limit of 500MB, so you may need to compress your video before uploading it. You DO NOT need to sign up for a paid account.

Step 3:
Once your video has uploaded, annotate the video and set to private.

BASIC INFO TAB:
Title, Description, Tags – Filling in a title will suffice, description and tags are not necessary for our purposes.

PRIVACY TAB:
- Who can watch? – Set to “Only people with the password”, set the password to: Lenya2018
- Where can this video be embedded? – Set to “Nowhere”
- Who can comment? – Set to “No one”
- What can people do with this video? – Uncheck “Download the video” and uncheck “Add to their Connections”
You may skip Collections, Advanced or Upgrade tabs in the upload settings.

Step 4:
Once uploaded and processed (processing may take around 30 minutes), your video will have a paper airplane icon in the upper right corner that will provide you with the link to submit below.

Should you have any questions regarding the video upload process, please contact Veronica Chaffin at vchaffin@kwf.org or 212-505-5240, ext. 201.
