As the Covelli Centre turns 20, JAC Management wants to share audience members’ memories and give one person a chance to make a lot more memories in 2026.

It is launching a “20 Years of Memories Photo Contest” inviting fans to share their favorite photos and stories from past events.

According to Covelli Centre and JAC Marketing Manager Jamie DeFrank, “From world-class concerts and community fundraisers to events like Panerathon and Y-Live, the Covelli Centre has played an essential role in downtown Youngstown’s revitalization. This anniversary isn’t just about looking back — it’s about celebrating how this venue continues to bring people, energy and opportunity to our city.”

Participants have until Nov. 9 to submit their entries. Photos must have been taken at the Covelli Centre, and there is a limit of one entry per person.Ten finalists will be announced Nov. 10, and the public will get to vote on their favorite memory through Nov. 16.

The winner will receive a pair of club level tickets to 10 shows in 2026 (mutually agreed upon by JAC and the winner).
