The Top 10 finalists of the HOOKED! Songwriting Contest, presented by Prince Ivan and The Nest performance venue, have been announced.
The Top 10 finalists were selected from the thousands of entries that were submitted, and will now compete in front of a live audience and celebrity judges for a $1,000 cash prize.
“This year’s Top 10 is super strong,” says Brydon Brett of Prince Ivan. “The submissions this year were so good that our submissions judges had a tough task, but they really did select an incredible Top 10 who will put on an amazing show on October 5.
This year's finalists are Kadee Allen (Groveland, IL); Chip Boyd (Colleyville, TX); Swofford (Columbia, MO); Alicia Yanik (Republic, MO); Mixtape Me (Orem, UT); Fraser Armstrong (Springfield, MO); Silver & Bronze (Ridgedale, MO); Amy Geis (Spanish Fork, UT); Erich Eastman (Springfield, MO); and Jaleesa Smith (Harrison, TN).
The finalists, who were chosen by a panel of 14 submission judges, each with tremendous experience in the music business, will now compete in front of a panel of judges including Lux, Garon Brett and Dean Z.
The competition, with an American Idol-type feel, will feature the finalists competing in front of a live audience and judges at one of Branson's most iconic theaters. The event will give the finalists a chance to network with other songwriters and well as music professionals, increase their fan base and to have their music heard. One songwriter will walk away with a spectacular $1,000 prize.
"We can’t wait for this year’s show!” says Brett. “We highly encourage everyone to come and support this amazing Top 10. The live fan vote is a critical part of the show, plus we want to raise as much money as possible for our beloved Branson Veterans Task Force, so we hope to see as many people at the show as possible.”
The HOOKED! Songwriting Contest Finals event is set for Saturday, October 5, at 3 p.m. at the Pepsi Legends Theater. Tickets are only $15 each, and proceeds will benefit the Branson Veterans Task Force.
