On the same day America crowned the Season 20 American Idol winner, auditions were held for the second annual Star Vocal Competition in Haverford Township, writes Alicia Vitarelli for 6abc.

Auditions took place Sunday at the Kelly Center for Music in Havertown in the hope that talent hiding among us will emerge.

Locals ages 8 and up were invited to come out and audition.

The competition kicks off in June with first-place Grand Prizes in each category at $1,000.

“These are the people that we work with every day,” said Danny Murphy, the Director and Producer of The Star Vocal Competition. “These are people that we see in school, and you would never understand the level of talent that they have. This gives them the opportunity to come out of their shell and just show off the incredible skills that they have.”

Last year’s competition brought out people up and down the East Coast.

“We got to see some stars made over four weeks last summer,” said Murphy. “I can’t even wait to see what’s what’s going to happen this summer.”

West Chester social media sensation Tell Williams was a judge and emcee last year.
