About Emerald City Idol

 Emerald City Idol was started in 2008 as a new event for Oz-Stravaganza!. The 3-hour long LIVE vocal competition will take place on June 6th 12-3pm in Oz-Stravaganza! Park (next to Chittenango Fire Hall-downtown Chittenango).

All applicants will perform their song for a selected panel of Oz-Stravaganza! committee members. (auditions are closed to the public) The panel will then narrow down the applicants to a limited group of final contestants to go on and compete in the actual competition on June 6th 12-3pm.

That limited number of final talented contestants will compete vocally to see who will be 2010's Emerald City Idol for each of the 3 age groups. A new panel of local celebrity judges will be present at the LIVE competition to evaluate and find our Emerald City Idols. Each vocalist will sing one song for the judges in front of our LIVE audience and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place cash prize will be awarded in each of the 3 age groups.

The finalists for the 2010 Emerald City Idol sponsored by Olum's will perform from noon - 3:00 pm Sunday June 6th on the main stage in Oz-Stravaganza! / Dr. West Park
