2016 Pinoy K-pop Star
Missed your chance in last year's competition? The long wait is over! Showcase your exceptional talent in performing like your favorite K-pop icon and submit your entries for the 2016 Pinoy K-pop Star. There are two (2) available categories to join to: Vocal and Performance Category. For the Vocal Category, you may opt to perform solo, duo or with a group. You can also choose to have back-up dancers if you like, especially if you are singing an upbeat dance song. Record yourself singing a live K-pop song and upload it on YouTube with the title, "2016 PINOY K-POP STAR - Singing Category Entry – NAME". For the Performance Category, form a group of as much members (or less) as the group you are copying. Pre-record your song using instrumental with backing vocals and lip-sync to your own voices while performing the dance. Upload your video on YouTube with the title, "2016 PINOY K-POP STAR - Performance Category Entry – NAME". Send the video link, along with the application requirements via email. The Grand Finalists in both categories will each win a trip to Changwon, South Korea to represent the Philippines in the 1st Round of Semi-Finals of the 2016 K-pop World Festival. Along with trophies and gift packs, cash prizes worth P30,000, P20,000, and P10,000 will also be awarded respectively to the winners.
