..... erm, it's only a bit of fun! Nobody dies!
The competition at KFFC was (I repeat) well received and of a very high standard. Judging was done against a set of defined criteria.... the judges only announced the winner and didn't give feedback to the assembled crowd. Competitors were invited (but only if they wanted to) to seek out the judges for private feedback. The competitors seemed to enjoy the exposure that the comp gave them.
We had a singer/songwriter competition at the previous weekend we ran as well..... again this went down very well.
Nobody was forced to enter.
