Young performers are invited to compete in three categories - Soloists, Duets, and Bands - in a variety of musical styles: Rap, Blues, R&B, Rock, Jazz, and more. CUperStar is open to all area youth ages 13-19. Finalists will perform at local venues and festivals this summer, and then this fall in a special event at Champaign’s historic Virginia Theatre, where Champaign-Urbana will choose its first CUperStar.
