This allows for competition to advance their two winners (1 male and 1 female) to the next level of competition as well as providing them with the basics to hold a great competition in their local venue.
Wendell Payne of Payne Entertainment says, "I am proud to be a part of this competition. I have looked for ten years to be able to provide a true competition and opportunity for karaoke
singers. I have seen many Karaoke Contests and competitions that provide prizes, but no advancement, exposure, and opportunity. I want to make this the competition of all competitions and
provide this opportunity to as many singers as possible. I got involved in karaoke as a singer following a certain Karaoke host. I found out that she had a real dream to sing in
Nashville. We came up with a plan, I started hosting Karaoke and we helped her go to Nashville. It was the most worthwhile thing I had ever done. I want to do that same thing for as many
people as I can through the KWC-USA."
