RICARDO WINS 2013 SL's GOT TALENT CONTEST

 

On the evening of Saturday, September 21, 2013, many gathered at the Wynchester Hope City Open Venue and others listened on the Contest Stream as seven (7) wonderful singers graced us with their amazing talent.  Each contestant performed two songs for the six judges and live audience. What an amazing evening!  The JUDGES collaborated and admit to how difficult it was to select the winners.   During a special awards event last evening, the 2013 SL’s GOT TALENT WINNERS were announced:

1ST PLACE WINNER:  RICARDO (rickylivemusic)

2nd PLACE WINNER:   JENNA ODISARK

3^rd  PLACE WINNER:   THE BALLADEER

In addition to the three prize winners, Stone Vayander, owner of White Tigers, added a $1,000L prize to recognize an Honorable Mention contestant.  The HONORABLE MENTION prize winner is YVES WELLES.  Charltina’s, a Platinum Sponsor, upped her sponsorship by $7,000 ($1,000 for each of the finalists).  So, each of the winners received $1,000 more than original announced and those who did not advance into the top three positions and as the honorable mention, went home with $1,000L in their pockets.

The total CASH prizes awarded at the final event are as follows:

1ST PLACE WINNER:  $7,500L CASH

2ND PLACE WINNER:  $5,000L CASH

3RD PLACE WINNER:  $3,500L CASH
HONORABLE MENTION: $2,000L CASH

ALL OTHER FINALISTS:  $1,000L CASH

The full prize packages at each level can be viewed behind the PRIZES TAB on the SL’s GOT TALENT official web site:  http://slgottalent.blogspot.com/

This has been an amazing experience for not only the contestants but for all those who listened.  Some of the chat conversation reflected on how much a event of this caliber would cost in RL.

Congratulations to SL’s GOT TALENT CONTEST winners!  It was an amazing musical journey.
