As a local venue, you can hold your competition over any number of nights or weeks you wish. The local venue registration entitles you to hold your competition to determine one male, one female, and one people's choice winner to be sent to the next level of competition. In most cases, that will be to the state competition. Your local competition must be completed based on the the latest posted timeline. Timeline is subject to change based on venues in your area and the timing of the national and world competitions.
Venues can purchase multiple competitions rights, hold multiple competitions and send their winners for each competition to the next level. As of the 2010-2011 season, all singers must have registered with KWCUSA and provide this to proof in order to compete. It is up to the local venue/KJ to ensure that all singers have properly registered at the KWCUSA website.
You are under no obligation to provide any prizes, however prizes are always a good draw. Your winners have to provide for their own transportation and expenses to the next level of competition. Local venues can charge an entry fee to their competition. This entry fee can be used for whatever purpose the local venue determines.
