 | | | L.A.M.E. 2020: Audrie Blank, Ellia Blank, Levi Kim and Mia Wooton | | | | | | Lamorinda Idol finalists in categories including kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grade, sixth through eight grade and high school have been named by the Lamorinda Arts Council. There are over 90 entries, some individuals, some groups, competing as soloists or groups. Videos of competition performances are now available on YouTube, but the videos of competition final performances are due to the Council on Feb. 28 and will be posted shortly thereafter. Public voting will then be open until March 10. An audience award will be given to that participant who is not a category winner with the highest number of public votes, adjusted for category size and number of total category votes. Winners will be selected by a panel of three judges, and will be announced in a live online event at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 14. Winners will receive cash prizes ranging from $100 to $400.
The Lamorinda Idol event is chaired by Steve Harwood. The competition, which is open to all students in Contra Costa County, will be judged by "a total of eight judges," according to Harwood, "all with musical backgrounds; the judges have been assigned three to a category; and the combined votes of the three judges determined the finalists in each category."
Available videos include full performances, as well as short compilation videos with a 30-second clip of each singer in each category. Videos of the finalists can be viewed at https://lamorindaarts.org/lamorinda-
