OnlinePopstar Seeks Judges!

Onlinepopstar.com, the world's ONLY international online karaoke contest website, is looking for judges for the next online contest.

As a judge, you will be added to the OnlinePopstar Judges Panel and receive your own Judges bio page, complete with your bio, pictures, music, and advertising links.

Please visit the OnlinePopstar Judges link for an example: http://onlinepopstar.com/judge4.htm

OnlinePopstar.com receives over 30,000 hits/day and has seen 500% growth in each month since it's launch in January, 2006. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the music industry, music education, or entertainment business to help aspiring artists reach their goals as well as to promote themselves and their services and/or products to a targeted audience of singers and music industry professionals.

OnlinePopstar judges are also given the option to have their own forum in the members-only CyberStars forum. You can post your articles, tips and advice here for our members and become known as an expert in your field.

DETAILS: As an OnlinePopstar judge, you will be required to spend approximately one hour per week scoring song submissions. You will be scoring only the top 5 singers each week. The scoring rubric is simple and is based on a 1-5 point scale on six different talent criteria. Your individual scores are never revealed to the contestants, just their collective scores from all judges are given. You are not expected to reveal your scores on any individual and are not expected to enter into any conversation with any contestants outside of the site.
Each OnlinePopstar judge hosts one edition of Inside The Singer's Studio, a live chat session on the site that allows the site members to chat live, ask questions and seek general advice.

REQUIREMENTS: OnlinePosptar is an industry leader in talent and our Judges Panel aims to be prestigious. To be chosen as an OnlinePopstar judge, you should work or have expertise in the music industry, have professional credentials or projects of merit that you have accomplished and have a great ear for vocal talent. You must be completely comfortable in scoring vocal competitors according to their level of talent; the contest is not a love-fest, we are looking for honest, accurate scoring from the judges panel.

Judge applicants will be asked to provide a brief bio/resume and references.

If you're interested in becoming an OnlinePopstar Judge, please send an email stating your interest, your bio details, references and a link to your website.

Become part of something GREAT!
