WKVI is sponsoring a singing competition for youngsters during the Starke County Fair. WKVIdol will take place Monday, July 14 at 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds. The competition will be divided into three age groups: ages 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18. Each age group will have a maximum of four contestants. The first step for would-be contestants is to submit a 1 minute singing demo with your name, address, email and telephone number. You can drop it off at the station on a compact disc or other digital media file or email an mp3 to wkvidol@wkvi.com. Please list the top three family-friendly songs you would like to perform. Duplicate songs will not be allowed, so the sooner you submit your demo, the greater your chances of getting to sing your favorite song for the competition. Demos are due by Thursday, July 3. If more than four entries are received in an age group, the WKVI staff and management will pre-screen them and narrow the field of finalists. Submitting a demo gives WKVI permission to play all or part of it on the air or use it in other ways to promote WKVIdol. It does not guarantee you a spot in the competition. Also, if your song selection requires musical accompaniment, that is the responsibility of the contestant to provide either live or pre-recorded music. A DJ will be on site to play back either mp3 or CD format audio. Click here http://www.wkvi.com/wkv-idol-contest-rules/ to view the official rules.
