Fir Room on May 1 7 from 1 to

Last year s coordinators
thought of the contest said
Julie Lear festival coordma
tor, and since it was so sue
cessful, we decided to contin
ue with it this year
Only the first 20 people
who signed up will be allowed
to perform A waiting list was
started, but the spaces re
main full
We had several applicants
beyond the necessary. Lear
said I am still getting calls
but unfortunately the contest
needs a limitation
Each singer is allotted
eight minutes for two original
songs The first song is it
warm up and the second is
the song that is judged Each
singer must perform the song
live and back up musicians
are allowed
Since there was no screen
ing of the contestants music
the different types of songs
remain unknown However,
there is an underlined clause
in the rules that states lyrics
cannot be offensive. Lear
said
There were no preliminar
ics so we have no idea what
kind of singers we have at
tracted Lear said We have
tried to get our publicity out
to everyone with posters all
over town "
Through mass publicity
and overall openness of the
contest. Lear predicts that a
wide variety of performers will
participate
Lear expects that some
songs will address political
and social issues that may be
of interest to the audience
and the judges
The judges for the contest
are Ed Coleman, codirector
of the Folklore and Ethnic
Studies Program Diane
Dugaw. assistant professor in
the English department and
Lee Jones performer in a lo
cal quartet called The Tones
Cash prizes are awarded to
the contestants who place
first S75. second $50. and
third. $25 The top three also
qualify to perform their songs
at 3 p m Saturday on the Main
Stage
The only change from last
year s contest is that profes
sional singers who are already
performing at the Folk Festi
val do not qualify to partm
pate in the contest
We want to keep this an
amateur contest. Lear said
Last year two out of the
three winners were already
performing on Saturday
With this change Lear be
lieves the event can be a local
amateur contest, rather than
one with professionals having
an advantage
