The maximum number of contestants at any audition venue will be (20) twenty. Contestants must be present when their entry is called to be eligible to perform.
- All contestants at each venue will be evaluated by a 3-judge panel (selection of the judges at each event is at the discretion of Big Radio and may or may not be unique to each event) using consistent criteria at each event. The judging results and scores will not be revealed to any participant or spectator and will be used solely to determine each event’s three qualifiers who will be invited to the finale event.

Golden Ticket winners will have a guaranteed slot to sing at the Finale also receive $100 cash for performing at the Finale event.

Silver Ticket winners will be invited to attend the finale event where at least three will be selected via random drawing from all Silver Ticket winners to compete by singing for the $1000 grand prize. Silver Ticket winners may continue to compete each week for a Golden Ticket or for additional Silver Tickets. Additional Silver Tickets will increase their odds of being chosen at the Finale Silver Ticket drawing.
- One “qualifier at large” will be selected at random from all entries received during a special registration period during the finale appearance.
