  • $2,500
  • Performance at Sofar Sounds Secret Show
  • Produced music video
  • Private photoshoot
  • Electronic press kit, website, domain & one-year hosting

Additional prizes will be available for the top four finishers

“Famous names like James Brown, Eartha Kitt, Hootie and the Blowfish and so many others have been born in South Carolina and we hope to add another name to that list,” said Chloe Knight Tonney, Trident United Way president & CEO. “This past year has been tough on so many and Sing United will give the community a chance to have a little fun while coming together to help those in need.”

To enter the tournament and see eligibility requirements, visit https://www.tuw.org/sing. Artists must register for the tournament by April 5 at 6 p.m. The bracket and first round match-up dates will be announced soon after.

Money raised during tournament voting will support Trident United Way in its ongoing mission to improve the education, financial stability and health of every Tri-County community member.
