Regency Jr. Idol competition set for July 16

Regency Square Mall is looking for talented singers and musicians ages 6 to 16 for the 7th Annual Regency Jr. Idol Competition. The winner will receive free studio time and demo CDs to help further their musical career.

Auditions will be held at Regency Square Mall on July 16 for ages 6 to 11 and July 23 for ages 12 to 16. Both audition days begin at 4 p.m.

All finalists will win a limousine ride, a tour of FAME recording studios, and a VIP experience attending a W.C. Handy Music Festival event on July 28. Finals will take place July 29 at 6 p.m. in the mall as part of the W.C. Handy Music Festival activities.

Interested individuals can pick up a registration form at The Shoe Dept. inside Regency Square Mall anytime during mall hours. Contestants will be allowed to register one hour ahead of the scheduled start time on the day of their appropriate age audition and contestants may only register for the day in which their age group is listed. Three contestants will be chosen to advance from each audition.

The auditions and the finals will be judged by both the audience and professional judges. The audience will cast dollar votes for their favorite performers with all proceeds benefiting the North Alabama Christian Children’s Home, which is a non-profit residential foster care home that provides care for boys and girls ages 6 to 17.

The event is sponsored by FAME Recording Studios, Unique Car Care & Limousine Service and Regency Square Mall.
