PNT Singing Idol

"The Filipino Canadian community’s biggest talent contest in B.C. is the PNT Singing Idol." It is a Filipino-Canadian Metro Vancouver-area singing competition which grants prizes to the most successful amateur singers in three age categories. The top annual prize is a round trip air fare from Metro Vancouver to the Philippines and a $1000 cash prize. The contest started in 2008. On 29 September 2012 PNT Idol expanded to include a Seattle, Washington contest whose finalists would represent the state in the Metro-Vancouver, Canada, Grand Finals later in the year.
