About

The major criteria for submissions to The Bright Light Café, is a positive perspective. All submissions must be ultimately heart-warming. Our focus of entertainment is on the uplifting and empowering. We want people to feel good, and happily entertained, every time they visit us. If your submission is accepted and showcased, it becomes an opportunity for the creative community to match their skills and talents with yours. A voice artist may wish to narrate your creation, or an artist may be inspired, or a composer/musician may have the perfect piece of music to match your words ... the possibilities are endless. Inspiring others to add their talent to your showcased work/s means an ever-increasing multi-media event ... pinpointing your showcased work! We anticipate that this flow of original creativity to your page, will excite more visitors to experience your original successful submission ... not just once, but many times. Eventually, we envision every page throughout The Bright Light Café being a multimedia event. We foresee our creators and performers being inspired by each other, happily competitive, and matching their skills and talents with one another.
