Competition Questions???

© Melody Sanders

First off, I want to thank each and every one of you who have written to me regarding the Las Vegas Event. Your support, questions, hurt and disappointment; have not gone unheard. It is because of you that I have pursued this, long after most people have "moved on" with their days.

I have made many friends, and dear acquaintances in the ETA and Elvis world. It would not be right to turn my back and walk away from their questions. As a firm believer and supporter of ETA and Elvis, I believe that it is up to us to find the answers we are all looking for. This is all for you.

I feel it is a responsibility to watch out for your friends, and support them in everyway that you can. This is how I am showing my support to all of you that have been affected by contests and competitions that you feel didn't live up to the standard you previously had thought applied to ALL competitions.

This is not to say that I believe that the whole event or that all events are bad, not at all. What I am in search of is the truth and the answers. Something we all desire. I'm not out to hurt anyone or to bring only negativity to the competition arena, for they all hold positive lessons.
When beginning the adventure of competition.. here's a few words from moi!

• Don't believe all you see.
• Don't believe all you read.
• Learn from your mistakes, and don't make them twice.
• Learn all you need to know about the event, competition, or showcase.
• Ask questions about the organizer, judges, and supporting partners.
• Read between the lines, ask questions and dig deep into something that you are uncertain of.
• If something smells fishy- check it out.
• If something seems too good to be true- it probably is!
• Be careful about what you wish for, it just may come true...

I have asked the organizer of the event to answer some general questions, supplied by some of you and also many that I have questioned myself. The organizer has replied, that he would like the opportunity to answer the questions.

I will list the questions here for your information. If there are any that I have missed or that you wish to be answered that I have not covered- please feel free to write to me, in turn I will contact the organizer to address these.

These were the questions I asked...
