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.

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.
