American Idol Returns to Niles

It's baaack! The annual American Idol Elimination contest and Big Screen Final Viewing Party return to Niles Library. This year is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic American Idol competitions ever, and our roster of prizes for the contest and party are bigger and better than ever before.


Our contest starts when there are six contestants left on the show. For each of the final six weeks, you can win a newly released American Idol CD if you correctly guess which contestant is voted off the show that week. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by drawing. CDs include David Cook, David Archuleta, and as part of the grand prize, Kelly Clarkson's new release in a deluxe version with bonus tracks and a DVD.


In addition to the deluxe Kelly Clarkson CD, the grand prize winner will get a three DVD set of The Best and Worst of American Idol and, Dwag, a t shirt featuring the sayings of judge Randy Jackson. The grand prize goes to the person who made the most correct elimination picks (or through drawing if there is a tie).


Last year, we had such a great time at the final broadcast party that we wanted to extend the fun by adding some fabulous prizes. So come to the party for games, refreshments (junk food of course) and a chance to win one of two 2MB iPod Shuffles that clip on to your lapel in American Idol blue. Other door prizes include the best and worst DVD set mentioned above, the American Idol DVD karaoke game, Kelly Clarkson's new CD, and a Randy T.

Visit the AV desk on the first floor of the library for more information. Party space is limited, so sign up soon.
