QSAC Got Talent SEMI-FINALS! Pre-Voting begins NOW!

Hello My Darlings,

I have made it to the Semi-Finals in QSAC’s “Got Talent”! I’m super-excited to be a part of this talent contest/fundraiser for such a well-deserving non-profit.

For those of you that don’t know, QSAC provides services for people with autism in the NYC and Long Island areas. Some of their services include a preschool, day school, day habilitation, in-home services, group homes and case management. As “Got Talent” prepares for a new round of quarter finals (10/25 & 11/8), pre-voting has begun for the semi-finals.

What I need are YOUR votes in this online fundraising portion of the contest. If I can get enough audience votes (there will be a video of my performance of “Green Bean Casserole” posted to the QSAC website in the next couple of weeks), I will make it to the Finals and will sing for Martha Wash!

Pre-voting has already begun! Click this link to vote for Candy: http://www.qsac.com/talent/sf1vote.html

Remember, all votes/donations made to QSAC are tax-deductible!

Let’s get me to the finals!

Hugs,
Candy

A vote for Candy is a vote for QSAC!
Quarterfinals – 10/11/11

PRELIMINARY AUDITIONS: YouTube links will be reviewed by a committee of industry professionals. The acts selected to move forward to the live auditions will be based on their talent, ability, look, style.

QUARTERFINALS: The quarterfinals will be broken down into three Tuesday nights (10/11/11, 10/25/11, and 11/8/11). You will be asked to perform at one of those events. Each night, a panel of industry professional judges will choose four (4) contestants to move forward. The other four (4) contestants moving forward (8 in total per night) will be chosen by the audience. Audience members purchase votes at $1 per vote (remember this is a fundraiser).

***I’ll be serving up my “Green Bean Casserole” on Tuesday, 10/11/11 @ 7PM! For those of y’all that aren’t in the NYC area or cannot make it, pre-vote NOW by following this link: http://go.qsac.com/GT2QF1a
Be sure to select Candy Samples from the drop-down menu!

SEMIFINALS: In this stage, the industry judges from the Quarterfinals will choose one third of the winners to move forward and two thirds will be chosen by online voters. If you are chosen to move forward to the online voting portion of the competition, you will be designated a webpage on the event website to promote your talent and raise funds. Again $1 = 1 vote. As in the Quarterfinals, the industry judges will be involved in the selection process. Your video will be aired on your webpage from November 10 to November 22, 2011. These votes will determine whether or not you will get to perform live at the Grand Finale at The Midtown Theatre, so make sure that your friends and family vote for you!

THE GRAND FINALE: The winning performances from the online portion will make up the competition’s Top 12 and will be announced on November 22. These contestants will be invited to participate in the live event at the Midtown Theatre in New York City on Tuesday, November 29, 2011. The Top 12 will again have a webpage to promote your talent and raise funds ($1 = 1 vote) from November 22 to November 29 at 1pm. These votes will help to determine the Grand Prize winner at the Finale.
