Learn from the Legends of Burlesque!

Applications are now open for the 2026 Sparkly Devil Memorial Scholarship, now in its 13th year! The scholarship builds on the inspirational work of the late Sparkly Devil, who passed away in 2013, to foster a stronger burlesque community and to carry forward the knowledge and wisdom of burlesque’s living legends. The recipient will receive:

• A full pass to the 2026 BHoF Weekender (held May 28-31, 2026)
• 4 nights of hotel accommodation at The Plaza Hotel and Casino during the Weekender (Thursday through Sunday nights)
• Admission to ALL Master Classes in the BHoF Weekender Finishing School
• A coveted slot as an escort for one of the Legends attending the Weekender

“If the Sparkly Devil Memorial Scholarship resonates with you, I highly encourage you to apply,” says 2024 recipient Stella Gams. “It will change the trajectory of your life forever. The icons and inspirations are abundant.”
