How to Participate in Lamorinda Idol

Lamorinda Idol Winter Edition is a new program that will run for the first time from October 2020 through March 2021. Singers may enter as soloists or in groups.  Unlike Lamorinda Idol, this competition will be open to youth singers from anywhere in Contra Costa County, and we will also include an Idol Alumni category. Alumni who are older than high school age and have participated as Finalists in past years can now participate in this program from anywhere in the world.

Singers will submit videos and judges will select winners in each category who will receive cash prizes.  Categories will include K–2nd grade soloists, 3rd–5th grade soloists, 6th–8th grade soloists, 9th–12th grade soloists, Alumni soloists, K–5th grade groups, 6th–8th grade groups, 9th–12th grade groups, and Alumni groups.
