Welcome to the 2016 Rotarian Idol Audience Favorite fundraising page! This is where you can click on the name of your favorite contestant (see below) and "vote" for him/her by making an online donation (all proceeds go to support local education and other humanitarian causes of the Hickory Rotary Club). The contestant who raises the most money receives a $500 cash prize and the Audience Favorite title.

This year's Rotarian Idol event, our 7th annual, will be held Saturday, March 12, at 7:00 pm in PE Monroe Auditorium on the campus of Lenoir-Rhyne University.

100% of the money raised will be used to benefit educational needs throughout Catawba county and other humanitarian causes that Rotary supports.

A total of 20 contestants will compete for $4,500 in total prize money. First Place wins $2,500, Second Place $1,500, Third Place $500; and $500 is awarded to the Audience Favorite. Additionally, several door prizes will be given away to lucky ticket holders. Contestants will be judged by a panel of three music industry professionals.
