Free tickets to Stadium of Fire Talent Search
Come see the Top 10!
Ten of the best up-and-coming musical artists from across Utah and
America will perform at a public concert on Saturday, May 14 at 7:00
p.m. at Mountain View High School in Orem as part of the Stadium of Fire
Talent Search, sponsored by America*s Freedom Festival. Local comedian
and internet celebrity Stephen Jones will host the free event.
The Top Ten finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges the evening
before at an audition where the best 25 Talent Search contestants,
selected by the public through an online vote earlier this month, will
perform. All 25 will battle it out for a coveted spot in Saturday
night*s Top Ten show.
After evaluating the Top Ten on Saturday evening, a panel of judges
will send the best three to Stadium of Fire on July 2, where they will
compete before an audience of almost 50,000 to win $10,000. Country
music superstar Brad Paisley will headline the event, with American Idol
alumnus David Archuleta also performing. Great tickets are still
available for Stadium of Fire, and can be purchased at
stadiumoffire.com.
The concert will take place in the auditorium of Mountain View High
School, at 665 W. Center Street in Orem. Doors open to the public at
6:30 p.m. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and
are free of charge. Join the Talent Search Facebook event page here.
America*s Freedom Festival launched Stadium of Fire Talent Search in
February of this year. Over 400 applicants, who varied from singers and
dancers to instrumentalists and novelty acts, submitted videos of their
performances to our website. The submissions were narrowed by the
Festival to 40, and more than 67,000 people voted online for their
favorite 25.
Freedom Festival Looking For Local Talent
America*s Freedom Festival is sponsoring a nation-wide talent search
that will result in three extraordinary acts competing live at Stadium
of Fire to win not just a cash prize, but sense the enthusiasm and
praise of 50,000 spectators!
*Every year the Freedom Festival receives multiple bids from talented
individuals and groups that would like to perform in some way at Stadium
of Fire,* said Carl Bacon, senior executive producer of this year*s
show. *This competition is a new way to include many of these
up-and-coming performers in our flagship event and allow them to be
featured on the same stage as huge international headliners like those
we*ve hosted in the past.*
Stadium of Fire Talent Search is divided in five phases. First, members
of the public should submit a video of themselves performing a talent by
registering online at freedomfestival.org. All videos must be submitted
by March 15. The Freedom Festival will then choose the best 40
submissions to post online for a public vote in March. After the public
vote, the top 25 performers will participate in a live audition in April
where they will be evaluated by a panel of judges. The top 10 winners
will advance to perform in a live, public concert in May, where they
will again be judged by a panel of experts.
The top three contestants will perform live at Stadium of Fire on July
2, where a winner will be chosen by an audience of approximately 50,000
spectators. The winner will be awarded a generous cash prize.
The Festival wants singers, musicians, dancers, artists, stunt
performers and anyone with a fun, creative talent to submit their video
for a chance to perform at this year*s big show.
Registration to enter and participate in Stadium of Fire Talent Search
is free. Potential contestants should visit freedomfestival.org for more
details. Precise locations and dates for the two live concerts, as well
as additional contest details, will be released at a future date.
