RALEIGH, N.C. - Jan. 7, 2016 - PRLog -- Raleighwood will hold their 16^th annual Academy Awards Gala on Sunday February 28^th. Watch the Oscars on the 35 foot screen!  Admission is FREE.  Lobby Doors open 6:45pm, Theater 7 pm.  The night the Hollywood and Raleighwood stars SHINE!

The annual search is on for “Stars” to attend as VIPs!  Each year, Raleighwood looks for people bearing a striking resemblance to a ovie star (past or present) or a character from a movie.  If you, or someone you know, fit the role, email a photo in “character” along with contact info (name, phone, email) to SpecialEvents@RaleighwoodMovies.com

Winners will be notified and invited to attend the event as an “A-List Guest”, enjoy Movie Start VIP treatment, seated in a special VIP section along with some additional perks and goodies.  Stars walk the red carpet, are photographed by “paparazzi,” and pose for photos with fans.

The costume and look-alike contest Grand Prize packages worth over $200 each for audience favorite and best dressed star or character include tickets to NC Symphony, Hair & Nail Salon services, gift certificates and lots more. Even if you are not pre-picked to attend as a VIP, be sure to attend Raleighwood’s Academy Awards night in costume and enter the contest. You could win one of these great prize packages.
