If you’ve ever wanted to show off your pipes to someone other than your rubber duckie, here’s your chance. Sony Picture and MySpace (remember MySpace?) will hold a contest to showcase/celebrate their new film Sparkle.
Not only can you belt it out to the cheap seats, you may also snag 500 bucks, be on tv and get your very own recording session! Not to shabby, right? Well, read on for the when, where and how….
So, where do you go to get your sing on? Mondawmin Mall (2401 Liberty Heights Ave, Baltimore, Maryland 21215). The time? Saturday, July 14th. Registration starts at 11am and the singin’ starts at noon, but get there earlier because I’m sure there’ll be a line.
More? I’ve got your more right here. Take it away, press release!
July 6, 2012 (Baltimore, MD) – Baltimore will be host to the SPARKLE Singing Challenge, sponsored by Sony Pictures and Myspace, happening Saturday, July 14th, beginning at 12pm.

This film had me at Whitney Houston. Plus, the costumes I’ve seen in the trailer? Fabulous.
