Idol is about the individual and their journey to the finale!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\n#IdolJourney<\/strong> – Using this tag we will share across social media and outreach encouraging fans to share their journey, <\/span>which we will feature on our official site and even on the show!<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\n#BeAPartOfIt<\/strong> \u2013 Different than any other Reality Competition Show, American Idol is about the experience. Through social <\/span>media we plan to start participating early in the audition process and beyond. From drumming up excitement for their <\/span>favorite auditioners, to social media initiatives such as Instagram video charades and Tweet the best audition song. Fan <\/span>bases of the auditioners will be encouraged to use the #BeAPartOfIt tag to show their support for their favorite future star. <\/span>Who\u2019s their biggest fan?!<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nYou Are The Star<\/strong> – Auditioners are encouraged to start documenting their path to stardom via personal videos from the <\/span>get go. Confessionals and vlog style videos will be collected and highlighted on our social networks. Producers encourage <\/span>all auditioners and their families to participate in the #IdolJourney.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lifting the Veil<\/strong> – We will be revealing all the nuts and bolts of what it takes to find the next American Idol. From the initial <\/span>audition process to the star-studded finale, we will expose the details that fans have been asking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\n#IdolGuitar<\/strong> – Social outreach to stir up excitement about this new addition to Idol. Guitars are, for the first time in Idol <\/span>history, to be allowed at the early rounds including the Judges round. It should be noted that any audition MUST start with <\/span>an a capella audition and the use of a guitar after that. Show Us Your 6 String \u2013 Is your guitar an extension of you? We <\/span>will feature the best looking guitars and the people who own them through social media channels. Air Guitar Hero – No <\/span>Guitar? No problem! We will not only feature the best air guitar performances at the audition cities, but also encourage <\/span>fans to submit their best Air Guitars on Twitter, Instagram, and Vine. Who is the next Air Guitar Idol?!<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nWhere are we going?<\/span><\/strong>
\nWe are going to these 5 cities, so make your plans now! Auditions will be held from approximately 8:00am until 4:00pm on <\/span>each bus tour audition day at each audition location.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHow does it work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nRegistration and Audition<\/span><\/span>
\nRegistration will take place on the day of your audition. It is anticipated that registration will start no later than 8:00 a.m. on <\/span>the audition day in each city and will continue throughout the audition day. Please do not arrive at the audition location <\/span>earlier than the designated start time of registration. Continue to check our website at www.americanidol.com DAILY for <\/span>up-to-date registration times and other information. THERE WILL BE NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING ALLOWED INSIDE <\/strong><\/span>OR OUTSIDE ANY OF THE AUDITION LOCATIONS.<\/strong> Space for auditions may be limited, so remember, if you wait until <\/span>the late in the day to register you will be one of the last people to register and we may run out of space or time to <\/span>accommodate you. Once you have registered, you will be directed to the audition line, where you will wait your turn to <\/span>audition, or, at Producer\u2019s sole discretion, be asked to audition while in the audition line. Registering in a particular city <\/span>registers you for THAT CITY ONLY. Registration does NOT guarantee you the opportunity to audition. Continue to check our website www.americanidol.com<\/span> <\/a>DAILY for registration times, further information and updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nEligibility:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You must be a US citizen, or eligible to work full-time in the US, and between the ages of 15 and 28 years old as\u00a0<\/span>of May 16, 2013.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>
\nWhen you arrive at the audition location to register and audition, you MUST have two forms of ID that show proof of your <\/span>age and a photograph (for example, a birth certificate and driver’s license or a birth certificate and a passport or a birth <\/span>certificate and a school ID card) and the Personal Release, as we will only have a limited number of copies at the audition <\/span>location. You can find all the forms you need at http:\/\/www.americanidol.com<\/a>. You must have all necessary forms and ID <\/span>to have an opportunity to register and audition (please see Audition Bus Tour Registration and Audition Rules for more <\/span>details). After showing proper ID and submitting your paperwork, you will be directed to the audition line. Remember, if <\/span>you wait until late in the day to register you will be one of the last people to register and we may run out of space or time <\/span>to accommodate you. <\/span><\/p>\n

 
\nNO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 YEARS ARE ALLOWED AT THE AUDITION LOCATIONS.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nAnyone younger than 18<\/strong>, that will be attending the auditions (auditioning or not) must be accompanied by a parent or <\/span>legal guardian. Minors or those without a driver’s license, who are auditioning OR supporters of those auditioning, may\u00a0<\/span>use a school ID or acceptable substitute (such as a birth certificate matching the name).<\/span><\/p>\n
