Singers set to shine in city’s first Auburn Idol

The Hotel at Auburn University and MIX 96.7 FM will present Auburn’s inaugural Auburn Idol beginning Saturday with open auditions at The Hotel, beginning at 9 a.m.
For the audition, hopefuls will be asked to sing a portion of a song a cappella. The top 25 candidates will be chosen to move on and compete in four additional rounds. Each week, contestants will be eliminated until the winner will be announced on Dec. 18, the final round.
The winning singer will receive a $10,000 grand prize; a recording of their winning song, which will air for one week on MIX 96.7 FM; and an opportunity to perform the National Anthem at an Auburn sporting event.
The contest is open to contestants 13 years and older.
Tickets are available for the public to attend the competition rounds and cost $5 per person. They can be purchased through the front desk at The Hotel.
