NAHB members and their immediate family members are invited to enter the NAHB Star! talent contest — the popular “American Idol” and online voting-style competition to find the NAHB member or family member who can best belt out the national anthem to kick off the 2011 NAHB International Builders’ Show in Orlando on Jan. 12-15.
To enter, contestants should submit entry forms and audition videos of a cappella performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" to nahbstarinfo@gmail.com by Oct. 1.
Their videos will then be posted on the IBS website, www.BuildersShow.com, where the NAHB family and general public will have from Oct. 12-29 to vote for their favorite performance.
NAHB will announce the top four finalists on Nov. 2 and then fly them to Orlando for final judging just prior to the Builders’ Show. The winner will sing the national anthem during the Grand Opening Ceremonies on Wednesday, Jan. 12.
In addition, the local home builders associations that are connected to the finalists will also receive prizes and recognition.
For more information about the NAHB Star! competition and rules, visit www.BuildersShow.com/Star or e-mail nahbstarinfo@gmail.com.
