Delta’s premier singing competition for youth has crowned its new champions.

Last Saturday night at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre, Delta Idol held its finals for the 2020 competition, which was open to all Delta youth between the ages of 12 and 18.

This year’s winners included Zoe Rapos in the junior category and Liette Desnoyers in the senior category.

William Marenych and Maddi Morettin were runners up in the junior category, while Nicholas Kluftinger and Dylan Walker were runners up in the senior category.

Rapos and Desnoyers each receive an in-studio, professionally recorded demo of a song, four half-hour coaching sessions and an industry consultation session from presenting sponsor Studio Cloud 30.

The finalists performed live in front of the audience and three judges - Jeremiah Ackermann, Linda Szentes and Emma Currie – who provided feedback on the performances and chose the winners.

For the seventh annual competition, Delta received 21 auditions and selected 12 finalists for the live show – six in the junior category (12 to 14) and six in the senior category (15 to 18).

Falsetto Sponsors included AEB Productions (lighting) and The Orange Apple Creative Imagery (sound production).

The competition was presented by the City of Delta which strives to utilize members of the community in all aspects of the competition. The sound and lighting technicians, grand prize sponsors, emcee and judges have all been Delta residents.
