For the singers out here...?

Question

What would it take, prize-wise for you to enter a karaoke contest?  I am trying to organize a fundraiser for an NPO and am trying to get a feel for what would entice people that know they can sing into entering a contest.  Would you pay a $5-$10 entry fee in order to win a great prize (like a couple hundred dollars in either cash or some gift card)?  The idea is to either charge and entry fee or have the karaoke contest be part of some sort of sit down dinner where a fee is charged for the dinner/entertainment.

Also, if you've taken part in one before or attended one, what sort of aspects were you judged on?  Just singing abilities or did they have different categories like most original performance, etc?

Thanks!

i think most singers, unless they're shy would jump at an opportunity to showcase their talent, and they would be willing to pay a fee, especially if its for a fundraiser. i'm sure u'll get plenty of volunteers. 

i've been in contests before and the judges don't really judge on who hits the highest notes, or who sings the most riffs and runs. I think its mostly based on who is the most original, and who interacts with the audience and just has a fun time doing it. 

good luck! :)
