Wildcard — November 10

Wildcard artists may be selected from artists who reached the Top 25 or later. Guides will consider cumulative growth and the artist’s overall GLV journey.

Participation is by personal invitation from the Guides only.

Invited artists receive a private 10-minute appointment between 4:00 and 7:00 PM.

Families may not attend the Wildcard appointment.
