Be the First "San José Teen Idol!"

Competition During the Month of April Showcases Local Vocal Talent

April 4, 2007 -

Do you perform in your school choir or take singing lessons? Does your shower often double as a concert hall? Perhaps friends and family are always telling you "what a great voice you have." Here's your chance to share your talent with a wider audience. If you are 12-19 years old, then you can compete during the month of April for a chance to win San José Public Library's first "San José Teen Idol" competition!

Here's how it works. Each branch library will host its own local neighborhood competition. Contestants will be judged based on vocal ability and stage presence. First, second and third place winners at each location will receive $50, $25 and $10, respectively. First place winners from each branch library will then go on to compete in the Grand Finale at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library on a later date, to be announced. The winner of this competition will become the first "San Jose Teen Idol."

The "San José Teen Idol" competition is sponsored in honor of National Library Week (April 15-21). Complete rules are available at all San José libraries and online. See Events Schedule above for a complete list of times and locations.
