After the unprecedented success of the first edition of the Wow Factor last year, the organising committee, comprising Talk Radio Europe, Steve Shappelle and Cudeca, has announced the official launch of the Wow Factor 2009 in aid of Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice.
This year the competition is going to be bigger and better and will be held in both Gibraltar and the Costa Del Sol. The heats in Gibraltar will be held on Saturday 24th October at the Caleta Hotel from 10.30 am followed by the semi-final the following day at St. Michaels Cave, starting at 20.30h. The heats and semi-finals on the Costa del Sol will be held on Saturday 31st October and Sunday 1st November, at the Palacio de la Paz in Fuengirola (to be confirmed). Following these two weekends of heats and semi-finals, twelve contestants will be chosen to go through to the Grand Final to be held at the Sala Fortuna in the Torrequebrada Hotel, Benalmadena on Sunday 15th November.
The organisers are calling for any great new talent to sing their hearts out for this wonderful cause. Anyone who entered last year will be very welcome to enter again. This year the contest is open to solo singers and vocal groups, such as Girls Aloud, Westlife, etc. but not to bands, and they are retaining the minimum age of fifteen at the time of the heats.
There will be a panel of celebrity judges at the final and the organisers are looking forward to having an even bigger number of contestants this year. So, start rehearsing those songs, get your vocal chords exercised and your voices in tune!
