“This is the first year we’ve had one single entertainer of the year,” said Tom Edwards, chief of Air Force Entertainment at Air Force Services Activity, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. “We’ve had previous competitions for family and service members, but we wanted to have a competition so the best of the best could represent the Air Force at special performances over the next year. So, when we say we have an Air Force Entertainer of the Year, that picks up a kind of ‘wow’ factor.”
The grand prize winner receives a studio recording session and a five-day, four-night trip for three to Los Angeles, Las Vegas or New York City worth $5,000. All contestants get to keep and use the professional video produced for the voting portion of the competition, in addition to the prize each has already received as winners of their individual category.
