FORMAT:

Contestants will compete in single or group karaoke acts with the aim of being both unique and entertaining. Singers may be very talented, or very awful. When the judges can take no more, the gong may be struck (at a minimum of 30 seconds into the act) and contestant will stop performing. Winner will be determined by a panel of judges when all contestants have finished or been "gonged." BEST SINGER AT THE END OF ROUND 3 WILL WIN $100!
Ties may result in "sing-offs" in a bonus round.

ROUND 1: "Open Mic" This is a trial round allowing contestants to
try out their song, get familiar with the mic, stage, audience etc. But beware, even
though you won't be scored, you could get gonged! Gonged contestants in Round 1
may return to compete in Round 2.

ROUND 2: Contestants will be scored by the judges. Highest scores will be
eligible to compete in the final round for the grand prize. Gonged contestants
will be removed from competiton for that evening, but may return in future contests.

ROUND 3 - FINAL ROUND: The higest scoring contestants will compete
for the grand prize money. Again, if contestants are gonged, they will be
able to return to compete in future contests. Grand prize winner will
NOT be able to compete in future contests, but will automatically be entered
into the finals for a chance to win the final grand prize. Monthly winners
will also be invited back to be a guest-judge in the next month's contest.

BONUS ROUND: In the event of a tie in Round 3, a bonus round may be called
where each contestant will engage in a "sing-off." The highest scoring contestant
based on their bonus round performance will win. In the event of another tie,
the audience or producers will cast the deciding vote.

GENERAL GUIDELINES / RESTRICTIONS / RULES:

Contestants are encouraged to be creative, unique, and absolutely entertaining - they must not only satirize the act of singing itself, but do so in a manner which is interesting enough to prevent their being gonged. This includes, but is not limited to, costumes, dances, group configurations, horrifying vocals, general concept, etc. Contestants are strongly advised that they will be laughed at by the audience and subject to possible judge commentary. Thick skin, a good sense of humor, and a strong sense of self-parody are all highly recommended for this event.

Unlike other contests, audience participation is allowed, within a certain degree of sensibility (however, audience members are not permitted to join the contestant on stage). Contestants may not behave in any inappropriate manner that otherwise violates Celctic Harp or Dee Jay Network conduct policies, including (but not limited to) the following: nudity, inappropriate costumes, pornography, weapons, profanity, etc. In accordance with Celctic Harp/Dee Jay Network sign policy, signs of any type are not permitted unless constructed specifically for the purpose of the contest. Contestant must stop performing and prepare to leave the stage when the fateful gong has been delivered. Contestants who violate these rules may be pulled from future competitions and deemed ineligible for any prizes.

The Dee Jay Network and Hosting Venue (Celtic Harp) reserve the right to modify these rules
at any time without notice. If you have any questions, please send us an email:
