Would you like to use a description from the Blurb Bank?: 
No, I'll create my own blurb.
Program Description: 
Calling all comedians, musicians, and performers! The Downtown Library will be hosting two Open Mic Competitions; one in November and one in December. The top two acts from each bout -- as judged by a panel of entertainment professionals -- will be featured, promoted, and given incentives to perform at an exclusive concert in January in our beautiful 46th Star Auditorium! Tired of getting paid in "exposure bucks"? Come to the Downtown Library and show off your talent. Pre-registration is required. Make sure you list a current, working phone number. If we cannot reach you, your spot will go to someone on the waiting list. The competition is limited to ten performers, so don't wait to register!
