Who can enter?

Victoria Idol is open to all ages and all varieties of popular music. It’s strictly for singers, however, so we’ll be asking you to leave your band and musical instruments at home if you’re chosen to proceed to the playoffs.

You’ll also need to meet Victoria Idol eligibility requirements, which means you’ll need to be a Vancouver Island resident and an amateur musician. If you’re under 18, please ensure you include signed permission from your parent or guardian as part of your entry package.

Eligible applicants can enter Victoria Idol by mailing their Application Form (click to download PDF) to:

Victoria Idol
c/o PEERS Victoria
1-744 Fairview Rd.
Victoria, B.C. V9A 5T9

Applicants are responsible for ensuring delivery. PEERS is not liable for any failure of attempted delivery. All applicants will have to be available for a live audition, to be held on a Saturday in late September or early October (dates to be firmed up soon).

The application package must include:

• completed and signed application form, including the applicant’s name, contact address, telephone number and email address if available, sufficiently clear to enable PEERS or a PEERS representative to contact them;
• recent photograph of the applicant (this does not have to be a professional photograph, just a good likeness);
• one-page biography of the applicant (include school, musical influences, interests, goals, how long you’ve been singing, etc.);
• the $30 application fee in the form of certified cheque or money order, made payable to Victoria Idol; and
• signed permission from a parent or guardian if the applicant is under the age of 18.

If any of the above items are absent, the application will not be considered.
