The Overture Awards NEXT POP STAR Competition | June 1 | Aronoff Center

CAA_Next Pop StarCincinnati, OH – Who will be Cincinnati’s next young pop star? The Cincinnati Arts Association’s Overture Awards has created an exciting new dance and vocal arts opportunity for Tri-state students in grades 9-12 – the Next Pop Star competition. The new program is scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2013.

The Next Pop Star competition is designed for talented high school students who perform popular dance and music. A maximum of 25 dancers and 25 vocalists will be allowed to compete on a first-come, first-served basis before a panel of judges for no longer than five minutes each. Competitors are required to submit an application to register; no application fee is required. Once the application is received, the competitor will be contacted with a specific time to check in the day of the event. Applications from students who have competed in the Overture Award program will not be accepted.

A keyboard and a CD player will be provided; however, competitors may bring their own accompanist. Two winners, one dancer and one vocalist, will each receive a $300 prize. Three runners-up will each receive $100 each.

“This is a great opportunity for young artists who are not classically focused to compete for a cash award and recognition of their talent. We are working hard to connect with students who love the arts but are not interested in classical music or dance,” says Steve Finn, Director of Education for the Cincinnati Arts Association. “Like TV’s American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance, Next Pop Star is designed for young singers and dancers who enjoy performing current styles, such as hip hop, jazz, rap, R&B, folk, gospel, country, soul, or power ballads. Next Pop Star will give these performers – many of whom may never have had a private lesson — a chance to compete with other young performing artists in a fun, supportive environment.”

Applications and Guidelines:

For more information, contact Steve Finn at (513) 977-4163 or Sfinn@cincinnatiarts.org.
