NOW OPEN TO SOLOISTS!
Sing! is a national vocal talent competition designed to shine the spotlight on choirs, choruses, gospel singers, glee clubs and vocal groups throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The winner will receive a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a singing, songwriting and recording session with two-time Emmy® award-winner Kevin Briody, as well as receive $5,000 in MasterCard gift cards to split amongst the group and a $20,000 donation to the charity of the winning group's choice.
Beginning April 15 through May 31, groups of 3 to 25 performers can complete an online entry form and upload an original audio performance of a song from the approved contest Song List to the Deer Park Town Center Sing! Website, http://deerparktowncenter.2011sing.com. Ten groups will be selected via an online popular vote and Deer Park Town Center will identify two alternates for a total of 12 semifinalists. These semifinalists will perform LIVE at Deer Park Town Center on September 17th and 24th. Each pool of 12 will be narrowed to three semifinalists by a panel of local judges and audience text voting, followed by another round of online voting to identify one finalist to represent Deer Park Town Center and compete against 10 other finalists across the country and Puerto Rico. A final online and text vote will determine the grand-prize-winning group.
Sing! combines the growing trend of online, viral performances with the thrill of live music to create an opportunity for groups in our community to showcase their talents, said Konda Dees, Marketing Director at Deer Park Town Center. With the support of Kevin Briody, we are thrilled to launch Sing! and promote the positive impact music has in our lives. And who knows, we may provide a big break to a talented, undiscovered group!
