Do you embody the King? Tired of the karaoke scene and want to really want to hit the stage and pay a nationwide homage to Elvis Presley? Then sign up for the 2012 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at the “Fill The Blue Suede Shoes” contest in Ocala, Florida March 3^rd, 2012!

You must be at least 18 and submit a demo of you doing your best Elvis tribute. If your demo is picked by the panel of judges you’ll be invited to compete against other tribute artists at the Circle Square Cultural Center in Ocala, Florida.

The top finalists will compete in the Final Round that evening for winnings over $4,500 in cash and other swag. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to go on to the semi-finals in Memphis, TN during Elvis week in August.

Participants will be judged on vocals, appearance, stage presence and overall performance. Most emphasis will be on vocals.

Participants and winners of past contests have gone on to star in movies, television, and in the concert even “Elvis Live”. A tribute to the King staring Elvis in different stages of his life; backed by the original musicians that shared the stage with him and also an Ann Margaret tribute artist.

So buff out those blue suede shoes, bedazzle that sportcoat, bust out the rhinestone jumpsuit. Pomp up the pompadours and shake out the kinks of your hips and register to show your tribute to the King of Rock and Roll.
