We need contestants.

And we need Hosts for every event.

We need Karaoke businesses to participate as USA Regional Finals Hosts and others to conduct the state finals competitions, others to host county competitions, others to host city wide championships and many individual karaoke hosts and sponsors for preliminary competitions.

We need YOUR help to sponsor the contests and track the winners.

Host just a single local event, or manage the contest for an entire region of the United States.

Existing local competitions are especially encouraged to contact us immediately so that your event can be included in the World Contest competition run offs as an official event.

Are you the happening Karaoke Host in your area? Get your events sanctioned as part of this contest, and send the winners on the road to world karaoke domination, (and present them with a 'local winners certificate' to participate in the next level of competition.)

Details will be posted here as they unfold so bookmark this page and check back often.

Entry fees will be based upon the response received.

We do not guarantee that they will be enough to fully cover the expense of a round trip ticket and accommodations to Finland for the winners, but we set them at an amount which will (hopefully) permit this as well as the offset the cost of competing in USA regionals.

A good response now will result in minimal entry fees.

Do the math.

A strong response now will result in TINY entry fees.

Do the math.

A Great response will result in adding some runner-up prizes for (some of) those not going to Finland.

For any response, we promise to keep the administrative costs to a maximum of 50% of the entry fees, with the other (minimum of) 50% being distributed to the contest participants. But we also guarantee that the Grand Prize for USA (1 male and 1 female) Finalist Winners will be given highest priority, and that if the entry fees are less than the anticipated cost of the prize, then we will simply award all of it as (2) cash prizes to offset the winners trips to Finland.

The contest is open to everyone. If you sing, we will find a local event for you to enter.

Do you have a Karaoke Website? We need your help too!

You can participate in listing schedules for local competitions, or regional events and display pictures and bios of the winners.

We will list your site here (or provide a link to the listings from here) so the singers will easily find their local contest hosts and competitions (you.)
