Hey, not bad! While a showcase slot is not guaranteed, there is still a chance that you can end up on stage.
Alternates are listed in order and sorted by showcase category. If a selected act declines their slot or cancels for any reason before the conference, the first alternate in that category will be contacted and offered that slot. If they accept, then all remaining alternates will move up one spot in the order. In other words, the second alternate becomes the first, the third becomes the second, and so on. If any alternates ahead of you cancel, you will also move up the list accordingly.
To secure your alternate slot, you will need to return your letter of intent along with the alternate fee. If you get offered a showcase slot, this money will count toward the showcase fee.
