Where do I get an entry form?
An entry form MUST come from a participating radio
station where you wish to compete. The Showdown
Headquarters can not supply you one. Here is a SAMPLE
ENTRY FORM.
Can I compete in any state?
Yes, you are allowed to compete in any state. Canadian
citizens are allowed to compete in the states as well.
How old do I need to be?
There is no age limit unless restricted by the state
or venue. If the radio station is holding their competition
at a bar, or casino, you will have to abide by the
age restrictions.
Will a Back-Up Band be provided for me?
At the local level, the radio station does not have
to provide you a Back-Up Band. You will be allowed
to use pre-recorded music instead, or play acoustically.
A Back-Up Band will be provided for you at the State,
Regional and National Level.
Can I use pre-recorded music?
You are allowed to use pre-recorded music, with minimal
background vocals, at the LOCAL LEVEL ONLY. We will
provide a band for you at the State, Regional &
National Level.
Do I have to sing the same songs throughout the
local, state, regional competitions?
No, you can change your songs from level to level.
Do I have to use the same band members from level
to level of the competition?
Yes. You can only drop members from your band, you
can never substitute or add to your original forming
act (which you wrote down on your entry form).
What if I have a complaint?
If it involves the local show, you need to contact
the radio station. If it involves the state, regional,
or national you need to put it in writing and send
it to us at SPI or e-mail it to us at spishows@bellsouth.net.
Phone calls will not be accepted.
What is the time limit on my songs?
This is up to your radio station. State and Regional
rules allow 7 minutes from the first musical note
you sing of your first song until the last note of
your second song. We do not stop our stopwatches inbetween
songs.
Can I compete in more than one local show?
If you win a local show and then lose at State level,
you can enter in another local show in another state.
Where can I get a PA Form (Copyright) I and what
if I don't have it back before the competition?
If you contact us, we can mail one to you, or CLICK
HERE to download. If you won't have it back in
time make a copy of the PA form and have it notarized
stating that you are in the process of getting it
finalized.
Can I get my judge scores mailed to me after the
competition?
We encourage you to get your scores to see how you
were judged in the different categories, and what
you need to work on. If you're requesting them from
a local level, you need to contact that radio station
and ask for a copy. At state & regional level,
call or email us with an address and we will mail
them out.
I'm having trouble finding chord charts and/or
lyric sheets. What should I do?
If you cannot buy the chord charts or lyric sheets,
try searching for them online by doing a Google search
for that song.
