 	<li>This is a fundraiser and the winner will be chosen by the audience/fans and judges. Bring your friends, family and fans to increase your chances of winning.</li>
 	<li>First round voting will be done by the audience based on the most number of tickets each singer/songwriter receives in their “tip jar”. Audience members will be given one free ticket upon entry to the competition to vote for their favorite singer/songwriter.
Additional voting tickets may be purchased by fans throughout the competition at the price of $1 each or 6 for $5.
A table will be set up with a “tip jar” for each singer/songwriter with their name and picture on the jar. Fans will then be able to walk past the “tip jars” during the competition and vote for their favorite singer/songwriter by placing their ticket(s) in the “tip jars”.
