 MOBILE,
Ala. (December 7, 2007) -- The Senior Bowl is
looking for its next “Superstar.”
For the fifth straight year, bowl officials will be
conducting the Senior Bowl Superstar competition, which offers talented
area singers the chance to compete for the unique opportunity to sing
the National Anthem prior to the 2008 Under Armour Senior Bowl.
“Senior Bowl Superstar has been a very popular
addition to our event and we are already getting many inquiries
regarding this year’s competition,” said Senior Bowl Sales and Marketing
Director Chris Morgan. “While we have always been impressed with the
outstanding quality of talented singers who have participated each year
in the preliminary competitions, we’ve also been very pleased with the
tremendous amount of interest that Senior Bowl Superstar has created
along the Gulf Coast.”
Last year, Mishondia Robinson, a 33-year-old resident
of Mobile, won the fourth annual competition, as over 8,000 online votes
were cast.
