OnlineShowDown are seeking entries for their online singing competition, and encourage anyone who would like to participate in their ongoing talent competition to step forward and present themselves, as the next possible online singing star.
The site runs twelve online singing competitions each year, and the deadline for the April competition is fast approaching, individuals are invited to enter this newly founded site, which provides an experience that is best described as an online pop idol.
In addition to entering themselves into this online singing competition, the public is invited to register with the site, and help with the voting, this is a simple process, much like an online X factor. Each registered user is allowed one vote each month, and these votes are used to judge just which entrant will be the winner of this online talent contest each month.
Prizes are awarded each month to the winners of this online talent contest, following this month's competition the winner will receive two hours of time in a professional recording studio, and will be given a CD of their session when they leave. Previous entrants have displayed an enormous amount of talent, won fantastic prizes such as £1000 cash and the user area sees much lively debate, with much discussion of just who will be this month's singing star, this website also brings a Singing Forum where you users share their views and get to know each other.
Although the concept of an online talent contest is not new, the site feels that it is bringing a fresh feel to the online talent contest niche, due to the fact it is giving out prizes, which could actually help the individuals who enter the online singing contest, if they chose to pursue a career as a professional performer.
Entry to the Singing Competition is free to anyone over the age of 14 years, entrants just need to register with the site, and upload a recording of their entry, what could be simpler? The site allows the participants in the singing competition to upload videos, of either solo or group performances, however, once the voting is underway, no more uploads are allowed, the competition is sealed until the singing start for that month has been decided.
The rules of the competition are fairly straightforward, no background singers are allowed, and all instruments which are visible in the video entries, must be played by the artist or a member of the group. Miming is also not allowed, and the site takes stringent precautions, to ensure that these rules are net breached in any way. If background music is used, it must be soft enough to allow the voices of the entrants to the online singing contest, to be heard clearly.
If you are the kind of person, who would just love a chance to get recognised for your vocal talent, or perhaps you have a friend or relation that you feel would stand a good chance of winning this online singing competition, then you are encouraged to enter for the talent contest underway for April.
The site retains a full history of previous entries and winners, along with a lively user forma and gallery section, all music videos are streamed directly through a web browser, there is no downloading required and no custom software needed to either enter this online talent contest or view and vote upon the current entrants. No fee is levied in any way; the competition is freely enterable and is solely sponsored by the website owners.
The overall theme behind Online ShowDown is fun, although the singing competitions are taken very seriously by the team, the entrants, and the voters alike, the site tries to maintain a lively, light-hearted and friendly user community.
