Those interested in engaging the crowd through the power of song in a fun competition should consider entering the 2012 MU Idol competition, which will be held on November 27 at 7 p.m. in the Student Memorial Center’s Multipurpose Room.
There are no requirements to enter the competition, and the top three winners will walk away with a cash prize. The last day to sign up is on November 12.
The competition, which is organized by the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), will consist of judges that evaluate contestant’s voice, stage presence and their overall style. PRSSA is known for hosting a mock beauty pageant, Mr. Millersville, for males representing organizations on campus, so they decided to generate a friendly competition for all to participate in.
“Each performer has the chance to sing their favorite songs for a chance to win cash prizes. We had an amazing turn out last year and it was a lot of fun!” shared Gina Masciantonio, vice president of Millersville’s PRSSA.
The organization has been planning for the friendly singing competition since the summer months by splitting up the organization into four separate committees, which include decoration, recruitment, fundraising and publicity.
The organization has created a Facebook page for the actual event, in which they are open to answering questions from potential contestants.
Interested participants should contact millersville.prssa@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page, which can be found by typing “2012 MU Idol” into the search bar. This event is open to the public. Tickets cost $3 in advanceand may be purchased in advance at the Student Memorial Center Ticket Office (room 103) or $5 at the door.
