Be the first Glen Cove Teen Idol

A new contest is coming to downtown Glen Cove this spring: The first annual Downtown Sounds Teen Idol vocal contest. Open to Glen Cove, Glen Head, Glenwood Landing and Sea Cliff residents ages 13 to 18, Downtown Sounds Teen Idol will showcase local emerging talent, with the winner having an opportunity to perform live at Downtown Sounds.
Downtown Sounds Teen Idol is an opportunity for Glen Cove teens to show off their vocal skills, in any genre. The contest is open to solo vocalists only – no bands, no duets – though songs can be accompanied by a track for the audition. Music can be original or covers – we just want to hear your vocal talent. In addition to singing live in front of 1,000 people, the winner will also receive a cash prize.
Those interested must submit a live recording of themselves singing one song on an mp3 or smartphone video to info@glencovedowntown.org by May 7. The recording does not have to be professional quality – it can be as simple as singing a song in the kitchen. Contestants will be judged by music industry professionals, who will decide on which vocalist will go to the next level. Those chosen for the next round will try out in person in Village Square on May 11, with a chance to go to the final round. The top five finalists will perform at the preshow during the Downtown Sounds 2022 Concert Series.
Participants must submit their recording to info@glencovedowntown.org by May 7 to be considered. Submissions must also include the contestant’s address, age, name of school, phone number and email address. All contestants will be notified as to whether they will advance to the next round.
