About

DIVAS! is a lip-sync competition for a cause. Brush up on your best lip-sync and break out your most fabulous costumes or drag and raise money for CrescentCare. DIVAS! is a re-imagining of a past NO/AIDS Task Force event, Divas In Drag—All are welcome. Drag not required. Groups, costumes, and/or props encouraged. Divas! is a free event. Ready to show us your stuff? Head over to http://crescentcarehealth.org/noaids/events/divas/ and register today! Rules: 1. The number of acts is limited, so register early! 2. Teams can range in size from 1 to 10 people. 3. Individuals can only compete in one act. 4. Teams may use props; these props must be included on the registration form. 5. Music will be submitted at event day registration (7:30pm-8:30pm). Songs must be the clean version, no explicit versions will be accepted. Failure to submit music may result in the entry being cancelled (CD or USB only, NO PHONES or IPODS can be used) 6. The maximum time limit is four minutes per performance. After four minutes, the music will fade out. 7. If stage sets or other significant props are used, contestants are allowed 2 minutes for set up and 2 minutes for tear down. 8. The CrescentCare Development Department reserves the right to cancel registration if the committee feels the act is inappropriate or offensive to others. If an offensive act is performed, we reserve the right to terminate the performance and the act will be disqualified. The competition will be judged in these categories: 1. Lip Sync Abilities: How well the performer(s) lip-sync the lyrics of the song. 2. Creativity: How original and creative the performance is. Instead of just standing on stage and lip-syncing a song, props, choreography, costumes and/or other ideas should be used and often impresses the judges and generates crowd response. Be creative! 3. Stage Presence & Choreography: Again, don’t just stand there! Engage the audience, dance, smile, make eye contact with the judges…you’re a STAR —have fun! 4. Tips. Invite all of your friends, family and co-workers to this FREE event and make sure they tip YOUR Performance. Funds raised at this event will benefit CrescentCare. Each category will be worth 25 points. In case of a tie, both parties will battle it out as they “Lip Sync For Their Life” to the song “ Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody ." Judges will decide based on overall performance. The judges’ decisions are final. Prizes: Winner will receive the title of (Mr./ Miss ) DIVA 2017, 2 tickets to Art Against AIDS, and other prizes.
