The same contestants cannot compete more than once in an identical combination of age group, category and division.  Improper entry will be determined by the judges or Rising Star staff.

There are Level 1 and Level 2 is all division now!   Level 1 is for any performance in the beginning stage of their competitive career (it is not eligible for gift certificate awards).  Level 2 is for experienced performers (eligible for gift certificate awards).  Teachers, please use discretion in determining  levels.  Any act in Level 1 that scores a 269 or above will be automatically moved to Level 2!
