About KWC Canada

History

MeAndMic.com is the official and exclusive licensee of The KWC in Canada. In the 2010 season we focused on live competitions in BC, and successfully put on the first Canadian National Karaoke Championships. We took the grand champion Kirsten Durand (Profile Page) to Moscow in September and she did an incredible job representing Canada!

In our Second year MeAndMic.com made competition more available to those who could not make it to a live venue by providing for the first time a separate online competition entry model. Competitors from as far as Williams Lake BC to Burlington Ontario sang to represent Canada for 2011. In the end Male Champion Trevor Dunn (Profile Page) and Female Grand Champion Jerrica Santos (Profile Page) will sing for the title of Karaoke World Champion in Kilarney Ireland.

MeAndMic.com also wants to make competition more available to those who cannot make it to a live venue by providing for the first time a separate online competition playoff model. We are also hope to offer the same chance to as many of the other KWC countries as possible.

KWC Canada National Championships Rules

The following rules include those set by the KWC governing body. Additionally live venue rules above apply.

  1. The competition is open to amateurs who are interested in karaoke-singing. It is not for professional singers.

  4. Contestants should have 5 songs prepared for competition (Rounds 1 through 3, finals and possible tie-break). Rules on track selection are the same as the live venue rules above.
