Wild Card, Semi-Finals & Finals
Hosted by Frida
Lay
The Midwest's fastest growing talent competition
is back for the fifth year in a row. Our talent search has
expanded to more audition locations all over the region,
including several new cities!
Hundreds of contestants will compete at 14 auditions
across the region at various bars & clubs, followed by
a final chance to be the fifteenth Semi-Finalist at the Wild Card
audition held during the opening night of PrideFest 2008 on June
6th. The winner from each audition will move on to the Semi-Finals,
held Saturday, June 7th at PrideFest at 4:00 pm on the Rainbow
Stage. The semi-finalists will compete in front of a panel of
celebrity judges to try and make it into the Top 5. The Top
5 contestants will compete in the Finals on the Miller Lite
Main Stage at PrideFest on Sunday, June 8th, at 4:00 pm, along
with other special guest performances. Our panel of celebrity
judges will make the final cut and determine who becomes the 2008
Pride Idol!
The Pride Idol 2008 grand prize winner will receive a
$500 cash prize, open for PrideFest's Headliner on the Miller Lite Main
Stage on Sunday June 8th, and other great prizes. Prizes will also be
awarded to the 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Whether you're competing or watching the audition, this
