Qualification Round

October 2 - November 1, 2024

Singers interested in competing must first qualify for a spot in the Semi - Final Round.

To qualify, a singer must perform a song at one of the participating locations and be one of the top 3 singers selected by popular vote to move on to the next level.

Each participating singer is required to choose the three singers they feel should go to the next round and may not choose themselves.

Semi - Final Round

October 23 - November 6, 2024

Singers who qualified during the qualification round will compete against up to 14 other singers (determined by total number of qualified singers) in the Semi - Final Round.

To advance to the Final Round, participating singers must score better than their competitors, based on a rating system that takes 3 parameters into account - singing ability, knowledge of song, and stage presence. One or more independent judges will decide how each singer is rated. Participating singers will also choose one singer other than themself that they feel should advance, and those votes will be used in the case of any tied scores from the judge(s). The top 5 or 6 singers (determined by the total number of competitors) will move on to the Final Round.

Singers who do not advance will be included in a random drawing for non-cash prizes that may include gift cards, certificates,  merchandise, or other items.

November 14, 2024

Participating singers will again choose one singer other than themself that they feel were best, and those votes will be used in the case of any tied scores from the judge(s). 

There will be four prizes offered at the completion of the Final Round. The top 3 singers will receive a cash prize, as well as a randomly selected Finalist not in the top 3.
