member to act as a contact person with all information going through them.
Additional members of the act need only birth date, age, and town. Social security
numbers are not needed.
8. Acts are asked to not dance onto or off the stage. After introductions, you may
take any position you wish to begin your performance.
9. Vocalists can perform with an accompanist or CD/Ipod/USB flashdrive.
Prerecorded tracks should be instrumental only. Any prerecorded track with backing
vocals is not allowed, and the act will be disqualified.
10. Looping (typically seen in vocal or instrumental performances) is allowed as part
of an act as long as each loop is performed live on stage. Previously recorded loops
will not be allowed. Looping equipment must be provided by the contestant.
11. Foul language is not allowed in the Bill Riley Talent Search. Acts
performing to or singing pieces with inappropriate lyrics will be disqualified.
12. Contestants may only appear once in any given show. This applies to qualifying
shows as well as the competition at the Iowa State Fair. They may not perform
“solo” and then return in the same show in a duet or trio. Contestants are allowed to
perform in different acts in different shows, but they may only qualify for the State
Fair Show with one act. Once a performer has qualified for the State Fair, they are
not allowed to perform in local shows as part of another act.
13. Only one qualifier from each division (Sprout and Senior) of a local show is
permitted to advance to the Iowa State Fair. NO TIES are permitted in all placing.
14. An act already qualified may not compete in this contest but may appear
as entertainment during the judges’ conference. (This is a Woodbury County
rule. Since we are one of the last shows to qualify for the State Fair, this gives
more people an opportunity to qualify.)
