Davenport's $1000 Sing Off Competition to Continue in September

Chicago's largest cash prize singing contest Davenport's $1000 Sing Off competition will continue in September with Disney music. The $1000 Sing-Off is Chicago's newest talent contest. Since the first contest in May, Davenport's has awarded $16,000 in cash prizes to 28 winners over the course of 9 contests in the Pop, Broadway Showtune and Jazz categories. 

The Disney Vocalist Sing-Off will take place September 4th/11th/18th. Each week, three judges will award a $1000 first prize, $500 second prize, and a $250 third prize. These competitions will take place in the cabaret room of Davenport's, beginning at 8:00pm. July's competition will be hosted by Daryl Nitz & Andrew Blendermann, also with 3 judges.

Admission is $10 for both audience members and participants. Singers will receive a voucher for one drink. All other audience are encouraged to purchase drinks with their servers.
