It wasn't easy picking from hundreds of dope performers, but we reached out to our[A3C Ambassadors](https://go.a3cfestival.com/email/v1/click?v=3&e=f18dQhb0SmZb6Cl.j0W8DdvVn69MPW1W1mhDGs99c0JBW8nP6hn7mpPY9W1nb38y25qfkVW6PZdYF4XXXPsW2pZQWs615ywnW79V5583DjlZsW83_Pn.7JCxGlW81bhDK7N_KqMW11GBXT41TlcRW3TwTqz19BjMLW1ks0Kj7SSR4CW7XJYgH2Fq95DW22WLyB6HBHnDW6qG7342108lnW1kqkGv7JBGdHW1npTBk1gQKgkW68Y5wp1vBHQDW80vYhq1y8g1XW76nGYf70zgl8W7v4TYv7MHh1WW7DSzQL76hVLQW1Hm_BB6c6vKnW6qY94k1zfNWpW6MqJMx7jj.3jW1YX_cb1B4TKSVFk2JC1qHvTNW5XmTsR33Q3J5W1S27VR8SzWLHW7L6Yfr8JnvYNN55Bjf23VVmvf3Vg8zR03) and they nominated a couple artists from several cities... the result is the "**Best In Show**" showcase at SXSW. A3C's 1st annual official SXSW showcase, **Best In Show**, features 15 talented artists representing 13 different cities... and it's SXSW, so we are going to have a few surprise performances as well.
