Captcha Code

Who do we consider to be a Pro?
We do take this category very seriously as should you win at the Penticton Elvis Festival, you would be representing us at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest in Memphis TN. The Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) entered must prove they have won a previous contest or are performing on a regular basis as an ETA, if asked by the Penticton Elvis Festival.

You may be asked to provide video of your previous performances at the discretion of the festival. We are looking for the best representation of the legacy of Elvis Presley.

Who do we consider to be a Non-Pro?
The ETA we consider to be a non-pro is someone who want to bring a bit of Elvis magic back.  They have not competing and won a Elvis Tribute Artist Contest.  As the Penticton Elvis Festival is serious about putting on a excellent festival for our fans, we may ask for non-pro performers to provide video, pictures and sound bites of their capabilities when performing Elvis.  Our non-pro winner does advance themselves to the “pro” category for following years with our festival.

All Elvis tribute artists competing must adhere to the Official Rules and Guidelines of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Any Elvis tribute artist who is unable to meet and adhere to these rules and guidelines will be disqualified from the contest.
The list of the 2025 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest Rules and Guidelines will be available once Elvis Presley Enterprises posts them.

Thank you for submitting your application to compete in the Penticton Elvis Festival.

Once registration is received and confirmed, you will receive an email with further information about payment, song selection, and festival rules.

PLEASE NOTE: SONG AVAILABILITY IS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS
