ABOUT THE ROCK ON PALATINE™ SINGING CONTEST
The Rock on Palatine Singing Contest™ has its roots in a former singing contest called 'Palatine Rocks' that was held in 2013 and 2014 as part of an outdoor, downtown Palatine event called Rockin' the Blocks. When that event ceased to continue, Rock on Palatine co-founders Jan Wood of JP Wood Martial Arts America and Melanie Santostefano of Vicarious Productions, Inc. decided to move the competition to Durty Nellie's on the Main Stage and held the first-ever Rock on Palatine Singing Contest in 2015, the competition's inaugural year.
Since then, Rock on Palatine has continued to grow, and attracts extremely talented competitors ages 6 to adult from the northwest suburbs of Chicago, who battle it out in different age categories including Junior, Teen and Adult. Three judges determine the winners, who will receive cash and prizes, along with a full year of bragging rights as the Rock on Palatine™ champions. The goal of this event is to highlight local talent, by literally providing individuals with a stage to 'show their stuff'!
