Jersey Shore Karaoke Idol 2014 Final Event Extravaganza to Award $10,000 Grand Prize

Nov. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- The Jersey Shore came back this summer in a big way and NJ tourism proved to be resilient.  For 2014, visitor spending is projected to increase 4.3% over last year due not only to the great weather Mother Nature provided, but by the efforts of the Jersey Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau (JSCVB) to celebrate and highlight the world-famous music and arts scene that gave birth to musical legends Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.

In that spirit, the JSCVB presented the Jersey Shore Karaoke Idol, a summer-long music competition that will culminate in an exciting, high-energy final event extravaganza at the historic Algonquin Arts Theater in Manesquan on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 8:00 pm where the winner of the coveted Jersey Shore Karaoke Idol 2014 will be awarded the $10,000 grand prize and accept the coveted title.

Auditions for the competition kicked off in June on Father’s Day and were held throughout the summer at venues across the shore including Jenkinson’s in Point Pleasant and the legendary Steel Pier in Atlantic City.  The events drew thousands of spectators and participants from across the country, Canada and Mexico.

On Saturday, November 1^st, twenty five contestants were selected by a blue-ribbon panel of judges to move up to the semi-final round which will be held prior to the final event.  Ultimately, 12 finalists will compete in the final event for the coveted 2014 Jersey Shore Karaoke Idol title and the $10,000 grand prize.  Click here to view a special video preview of the exciting final event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_4xBLCWE00



The event is a fundraiser for the JSCVB, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote tourism in Monmouth and Northern Ocean Counties. Tickets to the final event are $15.00 for adults and $5.00 for children and seniors and can be purchased on the web site http://jerseyshorekaraokeidol.com/.
