ARE YOU THE NEXT BIG STAR

Country Stars is a two-day competition that aims to find the next big Country Star. To participate, you need to nominate yourself and get a chance to win a massive prize pool worth over $40,000 over the 2 state's events. Successful nominees (Entrants) will be assigned time slots for the heats on Friday, with the Junior category performing first, followed by the Open section. You will receive all necessary information regarding the event's schedule and timings once you are notified. Five finalists from both categories will be selected to return and perform two songs with the Country All-Stars Band on Saturday. This competition is a test of skill, and the panel of industry experts will judge the entrants in both the Junior and Open Categories. There will be only one winner in each category, and the decisions of the judges will be final. However, upon request, the judging sheets may be supplied to the entrants after the event's completion at the discretion of Country Stars management.
