Chartwell Seniors Housing is excited to announce local auditions will be held this June for Senior Star, Canada’s largest talent competition dedicated to seniors. Now in its 5th year, this singing and musical instrument competition is open to anyone 65 years and over and a Canadian resident.

Registration is now open for regional audition across Canada. Registration forms and local audition dates can be obtained through the Chartwell home closest to you. Contestants do not have to be living in a Chartwell residence.

During the regional competitions, contestants are given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument, or do both, and their performance is videotaped. Musical accompaniment is provided to singing contestants, if required. A panel of three judges, made up of local musical experts, government officials, and media representatives choose the top three local contestants, each of whom will be recognized with a Senior Star trophy.

Videos of the first and second place winners from across Canada are then submitted to a celebrity panel of judges. Ten competitors will be invited to compete in the Senior Star National Final. The National Final will be held in Niagara Falls on Monday, November 21st, 2011.
