What’s New Apr. 10 – May. 10
KaraokeFest, the event that changed the face of Karaoke, is coming on Sunday, September 12th at the fabulous L.A. County Fair in Pomona. This year’s event promises to be the best ever with all of the exciting events that have made KaraokeFest famous as well as some new wrinkles that are sure to please. All of the exciting details for KaraokeFest 2010 will be available at KaraokeScene.com and in our coming June/July issue.
As KaraokeFest 2010 approaches, we are nearing the time for the “Oscars” of Karaoke, the “KJ of the Year Awards.” These awards are so important because they provide a way to honor the KJs whose special contributions deserve to be recognized. These awards are actually rewards for those hardworking special people that rise above the norm and make a significant, positive difference to Southern California Karaoke. Whether it is great song selection, outstanding sound system, fairest rotation, entertaining personality or just overall a provider of a most special Karaoke experience, the “extras” provided by the nominees in their prospective areas make Karaoke better for all of us. So please be sure to vote for your favorite KJ…they deserve it.
Please bear in mind that the more votes that are cast, the more representative the results. You may vote online at KaraokeScene.com. The voting begins on May 15th and lasts until June 30th. In the interest of fairness, only one vote per email address and two votes per IP address will be accepted. Again, the “KJ of the Year Awards” depend on YOU, the Karaoke community, to participate and let those KJs who are worthy know that you appreciate their efforts. They are there for you; you should be there for them!
Soon after the “KJ of the Year” voting ends, the mother of all Karaoke singing contests will begin. On July 5th, the prestigious “Crème de la Crème” singing competition will “kick off” with singers from all over Southern California (and beyond) competing for thousands in cash and prizes and the coveted title of “Male & Female Karaoke Vocalist of the Year” plus all that goes with it. As many of you know, our Male Karaoke Vocalist of the Year winner last year went on to win $250,000 at Oprah’s Karaoke Challenge on national television.
Also starting in July will be the Crème de la Kids junior singing competition for those 17 years old and younger. And in August the colorful and exciting Crème de la King competition for all Elvis impersonators.
Don’t miss your chance to compete and become a singing star! All of the details for all contests will be available at KaraokeScene.com and in our coming June/July issue.
We are currently in the process of selecting the venues for our 3 KaraokeFest 2010 singing competitions, the Crème de la Crème, the Crème de la Kids and the fabulous Crème de la King. If you would like your venue to be considered, please contact Karaoke Scene at the number or email address listed below before May 1st.
KaraokeFest 2010 Expo will again offer a golden opportunity for Karaoke related businesses to exhibit and sell their products. The “Expo” area will be located adjacent to where our main show will be held and totally accessible to the tens of thousands in attendance. There will be an estimated 100,000+ people at the L.A. County Fair that day so exhibitors are sure to receive maximum exposure.
Major sponsorship positions for KaraokeFest 2010 are also available to qualified companies.
For sponsorship information, contest venue information or to reserve your “Expo” booth, please call (714) 826-2212 or email us at info@KaraokeScene.com. Space and time are limited so be sure to contact us now!
A word of caution, singing contests are exciting and can be a lot of fun but please beware. Make sure the contest you enter is run by reputable people and in a reputable venue. We hear the horror stories about those contests where winners never receive their prizes or they are not run in a fair and honest manner. It is a shame that this is an issue but sometimes it is. Please be careful.
