2010 Tribute Artist Information

Registration for the 2010 Competition is full.  To be put on the waiting list for 2010 or to get information for 2011 email Terry Collins.

COMPETITION DETAILS

We will be accepting no more than 60 competitors. This limit will allow us proper judging of four (4) songs in the qualifying round. You will perform two (2) songs for the judges Friday and another two (2) songs on Saturday. The two sets of scores will then be totaled together for your qualifying score. One of the two days will be with 'tracks' and the other day will be with the Change of Habit Tribute Band.

Again this year, we have split the categories in each adult division. You have your choice to enter the 50's and 60's category OR the 70's category in each division. The 50's-60's category includes sport jacket & slacks, gold lame, black leather, speedway jackets, army uniform, etc. The 70's category is jumpsuits only. Your music selection should reflect these categories. Keep in mind for the competition portion of this festival you cannot switch categories. You may, however, perform your 1 hour show at your venue in any costume you wish.

The top five (5) in each category will move on to the Finals, Sunday afternoon. You will perform 2 songs with the Change of Habit Tribute Band. The following clarifications shall be used to establish which category you wish to enter.

• Professional: You make at least 60% of your living / income being an Elvis® Tribute Artist.
• Non-Pro: You make part-time income as an Elvis Tribute Artist on a hobby or amateur basis.
• Youth: You must be 12 years of age or younger. 13 years and older must enter an adult category.
• NOTE: Anyone may enter the Professional category; however once submitted, you may not change back.

PRIZE STRUCTURE
All prize monies are payable in US funds.  The breakdown is as follows:

 

JUDGING
Our judges and runners are all local and have no affiliation with any Tribute Artists or any other TA competitions in a role other than judge. They will have no knowledge of their fellow judge's scores. They will not total their own score sheets. Judges are instructed to score in three (3) main categories and thirteen (13) sub-categories, making this one of the toughest, yet fairest judging systems in the country!

 

GOSPEL COMPETITION

We will be accepting 15 Tribute Artists to compete in the Gospel Competition.  This is an invitation-only event on Sunday, June 6th from 10:00 AM until 12:00 noon.  Each performer will perform, and be judged on two (2) Elvis Gospel / Inspirational songs using backing tracks.  It is open to Professional and Amateur performers alike with prizes yet to be determined.  Please check the "yes" box on your Registration form if you are interested.  You will receive more detailed information on this exciting new Gospel Competition when your "Confirmation Package" is mailed to you. 

REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER

• ENTRY FEE: There is a $125.00 fee required to register ($100.00 if you register before March 1st), payable in US funds which must accompany the registration form. $75.00 of this fee will be returned to you after the festival, provided you perform at your assigned venue Saturday afternoon.
• BIO: We require a short 5 to 7 line bio.
• PHOTO: Two 4 X 6 or larger, color photos, are preferred. Please send one head shot and one performance photo in costume. E-mailed photos should be in JPEG image format. All photos become the property of the LakeGeorge.com Elvis Festival and may be used in promotion and marketing materials.
• A TAPE/CD/VIDEO: If you are new to our festival, we need to hear you perform. Send us a cassette, CD, video, DVD etc. with at least two songs. Tribute Artists who have performed at the LakeGeorge.com Elvis Festival prior are not required to send this, as we have your music on file.

PLEASE NOTE
The deadline for registration is April 15, 2010. It is imperative that you decide and register as soon as possible. This is not on a "first come" basis however, our committee has sole discretion of only accepting applicants who we feel represent the integrity of Elvis' memory and image. Also, because of the overwhelming interest from Elvis Tribute Artists from the USA, Canada and Europe the past three years, we will most likely be full before this date, so please register early if you plan on attending. The scheduling and logistics of a Festival this size, however, require this cut-off-date. Late registrations will not be accepted.

The registration form is on this site. If you can't read it or it isn't shown on your computer, then contact me as soon as possible and I will mail you a form. Otherwise, print out the page and mail all items (1 – 4 above) to me.
