PartyMasterz Productions Karaoke Contest Rules and Information

This is a competition. We will allow duets to enter. BUT, you can only enter as a duet or a single, not both. If the duet performance wins, the prize is split between the two contestants.  You are not allowed to have any back up assistance in any round of competition. You can only enter the contest once per night.  The top two scorers of the qualifying rounds move on to the final round. Judges for each qualifying round are sponsors of the contest and PartyMasterz owners. Rules for Participation Registration will begin at the start of the show (7:45pm) and the contest will begin as indicated by the host…. normally by 8:30pm, but may change depending on number of singers. Competition will be held weekly and in the same manner. There will be 7 weeks of qualifying rounds, therefore, at least, 14 people will be qualified for the finals. If you cannot make the finals date, please inform your host, so that an alternate can be chosen. (Finals are May 11th)

• There cannot be more than 20 contestants in a qualifying round, because of time constraints.
• Entries are taken in the order they were received and any more than 20 entries will have to wait until the following week to qualify, unless PMP deems time is available.
