Invitation for Participation in Cultural Programs

The Cultural Programs at ANA Conventions have always been one of the biggest attraction. This year too, the sub-committee members for the Cultural Program are excited in showcasing the best of Nepali Cultural talent at this event.

The thematic undercurrent of 2009 ANA convention will be finding “Unity in Diversity”. The goal is to try and showcase the many and rich ethnic diversities of Nepal. We are seeking for talents that highlight such different ethnic diversity. If you have that special talent please let us know. If you know someone else who might be a good fit, we invite your recommendation too.

In order to be considered for this event, please create an audition tape (CD), or post on U-Tube and send us your link. The deadline for submission for participation is May 15th. The cultural sub-committee will view and consider all recommendations and auditions and will determine the list of participants for the Cultural Event by May 30th.

To ensure success we are seeking participation from the entire Nepalese community across America. Once again, we invite your recommendation, input and suggestions on finding talent that represents the typical Ethnic flavor of the true Nepalese culture.

We value your input, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
