About
Indiana's Campus Superstar is a talent competition open to all students enrolled in any of the colleges or universities in the state of Indiana. Soloist singers from all backgrounds, representing the full spectrum of musical genres, will compete in several rounds for different prize packages, including a Grand Prize of $5,000!
How the Competition Works
