Rules & Regulations
2017 Contestants Rules & Regulations

Each contestant will perform as a solo vocalist – the artist cannot be accompanied by additional vocalists, musicians or dancers. However, duos and trios will be able to have multiple instruments. * New for 2017 *
Contestants will be allowed to use musical instruments during the competition and finals as long as the venue is set up for it.

Each contestant agrees to perform to tracks, however the venue has the option to provide a house band at the finals stage of the contest only.

Each contestant will perform 2 songs with tracks provided by the venue(s). This is open genre (excluding Rap and Hip Hop) in all club venues, however, the performance at Rockin’ River Fest must be Country, Country Rock or Classic Rock.

As this is NOT a Karaoke Contest, a TV screen is not permitted. Absolutely NO TV screen will be allowed to be used in any venue for the Finals.

If any artist wishes to use their own tracks they must be first approved and agreed upon by the venue. Originals are welcome, however, please be advised that because judges do not have anything to compare an original song to it makes it more difficult to score. If you choose to do an original, it is at your own risk.

Each contestant should arrive at the performance a minimum of 1⁄2 hour prior to the start of the competition in order to sign up and go over their song choices. Duplicate song choices will be decided upon by the contest operator, so please be prepared with other song choices in case.
