November
13, 2015 --- Discover Downtown Middlesboro is now in the running to bring a
10-week live music series to Middlesboro, Kentucky during the Summer of 2016.
Sponsored
by Levitt Pavilions, the national nonprofit behind the largest free concert
series in America, Middlesboro hopes to qualify as one of the 15 winning organizations
competing in the Levitt AMP [Your City] Grant Awards.
The
Levitt AMP [Your City] Grant Awards are an exciting matching grant opportunity
created by Levitt Pavilions to serve small to mid-sized towns and cities up to
400,000 people. Fifteen nonprofits, or municipalities partnering with a
nonprofit, will receive up to $25,000 each in matching funds to produce their
own Levitt AMP Music Series—an outdoor, free concert series featuring a diverse
lineup of professional musicians.
Discover
Downtown Middlesboro submitted the proposal for Middlesboro. The proposed venue
site is the Levitt AMP Middlesboro Pop-up Park just off of Fountain Square at
20th and Cumberland. Middlesboro’s proposal is now posted on the
Levitt AMP website for public voting. http://levittamp.org
A
successful campaign for Discover Downtown Middlesboro depends on community
participation to get as many online votes as possible to bring the concert
series to town. Community support, as measured by the number of online votes
received, will be one of the key factors when Levitt Pavilions selects the 15
winners.
Supporters
are asked to visit https://grant.levittamp.org/voter-registration-page/ to
register and vote. Online public voting is
now open and ends Nov. 30 at 5 p.m.
Pacific Time. The Top 25 finalists will be selected through online public
voting. Levitt Pavilions will then review the proposals of these 25 finalists and
the 15 Levitt AMP winners will be announced on January 5, 2016.
“We
have already seen the power of the Levitt concerts to transform our community
for the better. Moving forward we hope to make Middlesboro a live music
destination for the 150 million people who live within a days drive,” said DDM
Executive Director Isaac Kremer.
Discover
Downtown Middlesboro asks supporters to start spreading the word to family,
friends, colleagues and neighbors and rally the community to sign up and vote
for Middlesboro’s proposal.
