Entry Deadline Extended to
April 15, 2011!
Sevierville, TN is the hometown of America’s biggest country legend – Dolly
Parton. So far during her prolific career, she has
penned over 3,000 songs! As a tribute to her song writing,
Bloomin’ Barbeque & Bluegrass is presenting the sixth
annual Mountain Soul Vocal Competition. Contestants
must sing a song written by Dolly Parton in the style of his or her own
choosing – that may be country, bluegrass, rock, rap, etc. It is
not necessary nor is it encouraged to impersonate Dolly
physically or vocally. Simply sing the song in the way most
suited to your vocal style.
Event organizers want to
encourage contestants to choose from a wide variety of Dolly
Parton songs (all 3,000 are listed at www.dollymania.net
). However, contestants may NOT sing I Will Always Love You
or Jolene.
As far as event organizers
know, this is the only vocal
competition of its type
anywhere. Twenty finalists
in the 13+ age division and
ten in the 12 and under age
division will be chosen to
come to Sevierville, TN on
May 21, 2011 and compete.
Contestants will be judged by a panel of entertainment
professionals both during the preliminary round and the finals.
There are two age divisions: 13+ and 12 and under. The winner of the 13+
division will receive $500, a recording session in Nashville.
The winner of the 12 and under division will receive $100 and
two season passes to Dollywood. Join us for the fun!
