Aspiring musicians can enter by uploading an unedited video to YouTube with an entry form from the Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii website (www.ukulelepicnicinhawaii.org/contest/). It is $20 to enter online, and entries are being accepted through Dec. 31.
The 9th annual International Ukulele Contest and Hula Show is just part of the “Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii,” a three-day gathering in Honolulu including Saturday, Feb. 15, featuring amateur ukulele players from around the world competing for prizes.
Entries are being accepted in four categories: solo ages 3 to 11; solo ages 12 to 18; solo ages 19 and older; and group (more than two performers). Six finalists from each division will be selected to compete at the live competition in February. First place in each division will receive an ukulele from Kanilea. The top performer will receive a prize valued at $500.
“I look forward to listening to and meeting this year’s finalists and to see them continue to take this beautiful instrument to the next level,” said Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii creator and producer Kazuyuki Sekiguchi.
