Terms and Conditions for Participating
Clubs of
Arizona Summer Karaoke Heat Contest - 2011:
Entry process at bottom of page
We are sponsoring
this contest to assist bars and clubs in bringing in patrons over the
slower summer season. Week to week this will not bring in
substantially larger crowds unless the bar works internally to promote the
contest and staff it, however if run properly the “Club Championship
Round" should recoup more than the entire contest cost in one night.
Remember all of your qualified singers are instructed to bring in every
one they know to support them and audience vote will count as one judge
vote and will be used to break any ties, so this is crucial to the
singer’s success. Proper staffing, strategic pricing, and promotion
of specials / promos at your location and a cover charge or minimum
purchase requirement will help you to insure you make the most of the
night. We recommend $3 cover or a $5 per person minimum at your
“Club Championship Round". Since we are keeping this at the lowest
affordable level for you, we must impose some terms for participation in
the program.
Payments for
Competition are divided into 3 payments of $150. Preferred payments
are via PayPal.

“Club
Championship Round" - We
recommend stepping things up for this event.
1. Staffing - Have extra bar
staff and extra servers on hand, at least at beginning of night to make
sure you can sell as much food and beverages as possible.
2. We will provide one judge for every
location, who will also be taking photos and video to
submit on our various internet pages, as well as coordinating collection
of ballots, tabulating score sheets and supervising judges. We can
provide you with other judges but we must be made aware that you need
extra judges at least 7 days prior to your club final. - Every judge
we provide is to be given a certificate for a meal of their choice from
your menu ($15 limit) and a free refillable drink. We want them to
be able to choose a meal and have water, coke, coffee, soft drinks, etc
all evening with out having to pay out of pocket. If they choose to
buy any alcoholic beverages, that is their choice, but not covered and
they must pay for those. If we only provide the one judge you will
need to provide at least 2 more judges. We recommend that you give
each of your judges the same program, but that is up to you. Judges
are responsible for any costs outside the meal and non-alcoholic
beverages.
3.
Offer some enticing specials
to get people going, but make sure you are making a profit on them.
Do not offer a loss leader as they are already coming in to your location,
however something that gets them interested in partying and having a good
time is a huge benefit for you. We recommend offering a mixed
special, like a large mug beer or pitcher with an appetizer for $9.99.
Totally up to you, but once again, we want you to make money and be able
to provide enough servers that everyone gets served smoothly.
4. Plan on a long night...
Once again, we want you to make money on this evening. It will be at
normal Karaoke time and we will run the contest in 2 rounds and try to
keep as much synergy as we can. We hope to announce the winner no
sooner than 30 minutes prior to closing time. Make sure you and your staff
understands that this is designed to keep patrons in your location and
give you opportunities to not only make some money, but to impress patrons
who have never been there with your products and services, so that they
might come back.
5.
The judge we provide for your final
will get all of your sign up forms, ballots, etc collected and get all the
data back to us, so you do not need to worry with any of that after your
final is over. We will post the winner, and photos within 3 days of
your final and all attendees will receive links and announcements after
each club final.
