RULES OF KARAOKE FUNFEST JUDGED KARAOKE CONTEST

 

1.       CONCEPT: The goal of the judged event is to provide a high quality of singing and entertainment for the public attending the Karaoke Funfest event at the Highland Creek Heritage Festival, on June 15, 2002 and to attract some of the great karaoke singers in the Toronto region. It is hoped that each singer will represent a specific pub or venue, with a view to publicizing and bringing attendees to the event. The event will be judged as fairly and consistently as possible, per the judge’s criteria set out below. Greg McConnell is the designated Organizer until further notice. Contact information: Greg McConnell, 215 Morrish Rd, Ste. 104, Scarborough, ON M1C 1E9 tel: (416) 282-5754 Fax: (416) 282-9906 E-mail: gmcconnell@fleurcom.on.ca

 

2.         ENTRIES: There shall be 10 advance entries, and 10 or more day-of-event entries. (Entrants must be 19 or older).

 

            a.          The advance entrants shall submit to the Organizer the entry fee of $10 and any relevant contact information requested. As it is hoped that entrants will represent a pub or venue, the Organizer reserves the right to request a reference from the pub or its karaoke host, with a view to having one entrant per venue. The Organizer must reserve the right to delay acceptance of the entrant until a reasonable time prior to the event, so as to balance the program. If an entrant is not accepted as an advance entrant, his or her fee will be refunded forthwith, and he or she shall remain eligible to be a day-of-event entrant.

 

            b.         The day-of-event entrants shall give their name to the karaoke host or his representative at the event (between 12:30 and 1:00pm) on the date of the event. If the number of names exceeds 10, then 10 names shall be chosen by the karaoke host (by a draw or otherwise, as may be consistent with the concept of the contest). On acceptance, the entrant shall immediately pay the $10 entry fee. If time permits, more day-of-event entrants may be chosen in a number and at a time determined by the host (i.e. later entrants may be accepted).

 

3.         JUDGES: The judges will be designated by the Organizer. The Organizer may rotate judges. There shall be the same 2 judges for any half-hour “set”.

 

4.         CRITERIA: The judges will be asked to score a performance using the following factors with the following point weights:

 

            a.         Voice quality (strength, clarity, range etc.): 50 points

            b.         Stage presence (movement, costume, knowing words, etc.): 25 points

            c.          Audience reaction (during show, and by applause): 25 points

 

5.         ORDER OF SINGING: The advance and day-of-event entrants shall be mixed in order with some preference to the advance entrants: but the host’s decision on the order of singing shall be final.

 

6.         ROUNDS: Each half hour “set” will be a round, in which a winner is chosen. It is expected that 5 singers will compete in each round, but the host may determine if more or fewer singers will compete. The highest scored singer of each round will be the winner and a finalist. The finalists will perform a second song in a finalist round commencing at about 5:30 p.m., and the contest winner will be the winner of that round.

 

7.         SONGS: The entrants must choose their song from the host’s repertoire; specifically, they may not use their own disk, unless it is a duplicate of a disk that the host has in his repertoire.

 

8.         DISPUTES: The Organizer, or his appointee, shall settle any disputes, and the decision is final.

 

9.         CHANGES/CANCELLATION: The Organizer reserves the right to change the rules or cancel the contest without notice.
