The Korean Cultural Service New York is now looking for talented contestants to take to the stage at their fourth annual '2014 NY K-POP Festival.'  The preliminary online contest begins today on June 24! The finalists will be revealed on August 5, and then the big face off will take place on August 15!

The first place winner will get a chance to compete in the '2014 K-POP WORLD FESTIVAL' in Korea this coming October and even meet and interact with K-Pop stars, which would be a dream come true for any fan.

If this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, the preliminary on-line K-Pop contest will accept submissions from June 24 to July 20.  You must be a U.S. citizen and resident to apply.  You can download the application form here, upload a video clip of a maximum of 5 minutes onto YouTube, and submit the application and YouTube address to performingarts@koreanculture.org.

Do your best so that you can stand in front of the crowd at the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts on August 15 at 6 PM.  If you come out on top there, you will get the chance to enter the '2014 K-POP WORLD FESTIVAL' in Korea, but be advised that this is not a guaranteed placement, rather it gives you the chance to be one of the 15 contestants from all over the world to be qualified.

Best of luck to everyone!
