LONJ is proud to present Stars of Tomorrow, a vocal competition designed to showcase the talent of New Jersey's high school students. The event will take place on April 21, 2024, at 2 PM, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Basking Ridge, and will feature a qualifying round based on unedited videos submitted by the students themselves. The semifinal round will be held on April 6 at 10 AM in South Orange, NJ, where the top performers will compete for the chance to win cash prizes and recognition.
Our goal is to provide a platform for young vocalists to showcase their abilities and gain valuable experience in a supportive and professional environment. We believe that music has the power to inspire and uplift, and we are excited to see what the future holds for these talented young performers.
Prizes are $1000 for first place, $500 for second and $250 for third as determined by the judges. In addition to the prizes awarded by the judges, we will also be awarding a $100 prize for the audience favorite. This gives everyone the chance to participate and support their favorite performer.
According to Jason Tramm, Executive Producer, "LONJ is committed to finding and presenting the best New Jersey high school-aged musical theater and opera talent. We will be eagerly looking forward to reviewing the submissions with top professionals from the vocal field!"
We encourage all high school students in New Jersey with a passion for singing to submit their videos and join us for this exciting event. This is the perfect opportunity to showcase your talent and connect with other young vocalists. We can't wait to see you there!
