COMPETE ON A STAGE ROOTED IN ELVIS LEGACY
IEFF is now accepting performer submissions for our October 2026 preliminary competition.
With more than 33 years of competition history, our event stands among the longest-running Elvis Tribute Artist stages in the world, rooted in fan club tradition, historic preservation, and a mission to honor Elvis Presley’s legacy by giving back to the community.
Selected performers will compete at the world’s longest-running officially licensed event by Elvis Presley™ Enterprises.
2027 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Preliminary
Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest will host an official preliminary competition for the 2027 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest.
This competition takes place in October 2026 and serves as an official preliminary event for the 2027 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest.
Although our competition takes place in October 2026, it is part of the 2027 Ultimate ETA qualifying cycle.
The winner of this event will advance toward the 2027 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest competition path.
Selection Timeline
Performer submissions are being accepted and reviewed now.
Because Indiana Elvis FANtasy Fest takes place early in the 2027 qualifying cycle, final competition invitations will not be confirmed until after Elvis Week 2026, once the current Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest champion has been crowned.
Submitting early allows our team to review performers and prepare a strong competition field.
Submit for Consideration
Initial submissions are for screening and performer consideration only.
Submitting your information does not guarantee selection or constitute a final commitment to compete at this stage.
Selected performers will be contacted directly with additional participation details.
If a selected performer becomes ineligible, wins, or needs to withdraw, their spot may be offered to the next qualified ETA.
The competition will follow applicable Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest rules and judging criteria.
