So you think you can sing?

Do you watch “American Idol” and tell yourself: “I can do that!”

If so, test your singing chops in Emerald Coast Legends: Sing Your Way to Fame contest, sponsored by Uptown Station, 99Rock and 105.5 The Wolf.

Submit a video of yourself singing and you could win $2,500 as the grand prize winner!

A second-place winner will take home $1,000! Third place earns $500!

All videos will be posted at the Daily News’ Web site at nwfdailynews.com. The field will be narrowed to 24, then 12, then six, three and finally the grand prize winner!

We plan to show the entries on the BIG SCREEN at our Movie Nights in Central Park.

Entrants will be required to submit new videos before the Round of 12, and the top three will be recorded at a live performance at Uptown Station on Saturday June 27th.

The winner will be asked to sing The National Anthem, live, at our Independence Day Flag Raising Ceremony on Thursday July 2nd.

Winners

One $2,500 grand prize winner will be chosen. A second-place $1,000 winner and third-place $500 winner will also be chosen.

Winners will be determined by popular vote. Votes cost $1 apiece. Judges will review the videos and suggest who should advance and who shouldn’t.

As entrants advance through the rounds, vote totals will be cleared and a new round of voting will commence.

The entrant with the highest point total at the end of the contest wins the grand prize!
