Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is excited to announce that local auditions will be held in June for Senior Star, Canada’s largest talent competition dedicated to seniors.
“Chartwell’s Senior Star has grown to become the largest celebration of senior talent in Canada,” said Brent Binions, president of the Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT. “We are proud to support the incredible talent of today’s seniors and continue to be amazed and entertained year after year by the caliber of performers who participate.”
Now in its sixth year, the singing and musical instrument competition is open to any Canadian 65 years of age and over.
During the regional competitions, contestants are given a maximum of five minutes to sing a song, play an instrument, or do both, and their performance is videotaped. Musical accompaniment is provided to singing contestants, if required.
A panel of three judges, made up of local musical experts, government officials, and media representatives choose the top three local contestants, each of whom will be recognized with a Senior Star trophy. Videos of the first and second place winners from across Canada are then submitted to a celebrity panel of judges who will narrow the list to nine competitors invited to compete in the Senior Star National Final.
The National Final will be held in November 2012 in Niagara Falls at the Scotiabank Theatre.
Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT owns and operates a complete range of seniors housing communities from independent supportive living through assisted living to long term care.
Contestants do not have to be living in a Chartwell residence.
Wellington Park Terrace is hosting a regional audition on June 21 from 7pm to 9pm at 181 Janefield Ave., in Guelph. Registration forms are available at this location.
