The contest is open to youths from 11 to 17 years of age. The schedule of events will ensure that participants have the opportunity to perform four times, with the finale taking place over three days at the 157th Schomberg Agricultural Fair in May.

The winner of the Schomberg Idol will also have the opportunity to represent Schomberg Agricultural Society at local fairs and events throughout the coming year.

The contest will be juried by three individuals with musical experience, involvement and/or accomplishments.

The winner of this competition will be awarded studio demo recording time; opportunities to perform at King Township Events such as Arts Society King - Schomberg Community Spirit and Bonfire Night, Main Street Christmas, Nobleton Victoria Day celebrations and of course the Schomberg Agricultural Fair.
