Welcome to the 2nd Dallas Ukulele Headquarters Talent Competition! This will be an Open Mic competition between ukulele players for cash prizes. We are creating a separate category for amatuer players and for professional players, so more people can feel comfortable competing. Where does the cash prize come from? There will be a $5.00 charge per person who attends, including both audience and performers. 10% will be a club donation to raise funds for future workshops and concerts. Your $5.oo will need to be cash, either a $5 bill or 5 $1 bills. If 20 people come, we’ll have $90 to divide up as prizes. If 50 people come, we’ll have $225. The more people, the higher the prizes. Winners will be determined by members of the audience, who will score each performer on a ballot in 3 areas: Ukulele Skills (Rate 1-10, 10 being high) Showmanship (Rate 1-10, 10 being high) Overall performance (Rate 1-10, 10 being high) At the end of the evening, the ballots will be collected and tabulated, and winners will be announced: 1st Prize Professional: 30% of the pot 2nd Prize Professional: 20% of the pot 1st Prize Amatuer: 30% of the pot 2nd Prize Amatuer: 20% of the pot So, for example, if we had 50 people who came and $230 in the pot: 1st prize Professsional: $69 2nd prize Professional: $46 1st prize Amatuer: $69 2nd prize Amatuer: $46 So practice up your best song, or just come down to listen to the very best Dallas Ukulele Headquarters has to offer!
