Partner Events
The Whitefish Songwriter Festival is proud to partner with other local events that celebrate and promote the arts in our community. Together, we help showcase creativity, support local talent, and inspire a vibrant cultural scene in Whitefish and beyond.
We are partnering with the Montana’s Got Talent to create a songwriter division. The winner will be awarded a cash prize and be included in the lineup for the 2026 Whitefish Songwriter Festival!
Applications close August 31, 2025.
Montana's Got Talent, hosted by Starlight Academy in partnership with the Share Your Voice Foundation, celebrates Montana's top artists while raising funds for music education statewide. Our 2024 top three finalists soared to new heights: one signed with an Atlantic Records subsidiary, another released a debut album with stellar streaming numbers, and all opened for nationally acclaimed artists in their genres.
Prizes include up to $3,000 in cash, an opening spot for a national touring act at Abayance Bay, and a professional demo at Beargrass Studios.
New this year: a Juniors night for young performers, plus dance and songwriter categories!
Event Date: October 24 & 25th at the Performing Arts Center in Whitefish, MT
