Thanks to the BDO people for the following:

The Lilypad crew, Big Day Out's purveyors of lunacy, are looking to recruit top shelf entertainers and low rent wannabe pranksters via the inaugural 'Search For A Lilypad Star' competition.

The purpose is simple - to look for new, undiscovered talent to fill the boots of those crusty old Lilypad tricksters. These guys have had the rock worlds most coveted job for so long even the real rock gods wanna do what they do! But now the punters have a chance at snagging that dream job on the Big Day Outs Lilypad in 2004.

There will be winners at each event, but the most sensational act of all will walk away with an invitation to join the worlds biggest rock and roll circus.

The 'Seach For A Lilypad Star' competition is open to all comers, including existing popstars, deejays, rappers, dancers, improvisationists and comedians of all shapes and sizes. All entrants must be 18 years of age.

There will be 5 finalists selected per BDO event and audtions will be conducted live onstage before an all-star judging panel.

Each finalist will be required to do a 3 minute solo piece of their own choosing before all the contestants are engaged in set piece competition events. These might include some dirty dancing, ad libbing on the mike, a spot of DJ'ing or answering trick quiz questions as posed by an all star judging panel.

One winner in each city will be offtered a paid slot on the Lilypad in their hometown for the 2004 event. The overall winner as chosen by a hardened celebrity selection panel will be invited to join the BDO 04 tour as part of the Lilypad crew.

If you think you're talented enough and have the stamina for potential 3-week bender with a bunch of rock loons, send in a short promo-blurb-video-CD-whatever and tell us about yourself and why you reckon you should be a member of the Lilypad. Don't forget to mention any particular talents you might have, such as yodelling or dry humping soft toys!

Submit examples of your work by mail to:

'Search For A Lilypad Star'
Duckpond
PO Box 68-654
Newton
Auckland

Entries must be in the mailbox by 6pm on Monday 13 January 03.

The 'Seach For A Lilypad Star' auditions will take place at every BDO event at 2pm local time over at the Lilypad stage. Expect the unexpected and get cracking with the bad jokes.
