Kawaii Kon 2009 Presents: Karaoke Kompetition!!

Semi-Finals
Proudly sponsored by the UH Manga and Anime Society

At Kawaii Kon 2009, we will be holding the Semi-Finals of the competition at the Hawaii Convention Center.  Each of the 8 semi-finalists need to have purchased a 3-day admission to Kawaii Kon to participate.  The room and time for the event are to be announced.   This event is open to all attendees to view.

15 minutes before the event, each semi-finalist must report to the designated room.   In a very similar format to the preliminary rounds, each contestant will be given a number. 

You may bring a CD with your music if you wish, or you may sing "acapella" (without music)- it's up to you.  If you bring a CD, it must be able to play in a standard CD player, and cannot contain any vocals, except for back-up vocals. 

The song you choose to sing is up to you- for this round, it can be anything you want- with one exception; no swearing at all.

Once the event starts, each contestant will perform in the designated order.

A panel of judges will evaluate each competitor on technique, stage presence, vocal quality and appearance.

The judges reserve the right to stop the performance at any point.

Once everyone has performed, there will be a short deliberation period, after which 3 lucky contestants will be chosen as finalists!  

*IMPORTANT* If you have been chosen as a finalist, and you will be using music for the finals, you have until 12am the night before the finals, to submit a CD to registration with the following tracks, in this exact order:

1.  Instrumental for 1 song used in an anime
2.  Instrumental for 1 song of your choice
 

Be sure to write your number from the semi-finals on the CD.
