Elvis contests

Hi all.

I know about the European competition in Blackpool, but can you all tell me where I can find other Elvis Tribute act competitions?

Mr Nova suggested it is a very good way to get the name around.

Thanks for your responses in advance

I'm not sure if this is the information you are looking for, but I have a list of contests (including a few from the UK) at:

http://www.ladyluckmusic.com/radio/contests/

The official EPE Ultimate contests are listed on the elvis.com site under

I'd like to add also that anyone thinking of entering a contest anywhere should get as much factual information ahead of time as possible and do their homework to determine if the contest is "real" and that the prize money offered is real.

Thaks for that info. There aint many in the UK?

Thats probably because the Blackpool Contest takes allot of beating , the standard of the event is very high and goes from strength to strength.

It just gets better every year thats for sure !

I have to agree Paul. I was there as a spectator in January - could not compete due to family issues.

Well i hope you get chance to have a go in Aug , Lorna and myself will be there so i hope you come say hello and have a few beers with us lol.

I`d like that.

I`m tea total, but I`m sure my wife can make up for me

I'm the same mate never touch a drop The wife on the other hand

Kinda brings lyrics to mind she's drunk every morning at night she just the same
