The Festival Entertainment Committee will review the material you send and determine whether we want to invite you to the second round of the audition process, which is the Jewish Chicago's Got Talent event.

The format of the auditions will be as follows:

  • Each performer will be placed within a one-hour time block and should prepare an audition piece (s) of no more than 10 minutes.
  • We will provide a drum kit, keyboard, mics, amp, and bass amp to facilitate movement on and off the stage.

Tickets for this afternoon long event/concert will be $5 per person and include 5 tickets to vote for your favorite performer.  Additional votes can be bought, in the great Chicago tradition, of $1 dollar each or 25 tickets for $20. 

The performer that gets the most votes will be guaranteed a spot on a stage at the Greater Chicago Jewish Festival on June 13, 2010. You are encouraged to bring you friends and family to this event.

Although the winner of the Jewish Chicago's Got Talent is guaranteed a spot to play at the festival in June, this event is also our final round of auditions and we expect to choose additional performers from this audition to play at the festival.
