BEMIDJI — The annual Bemidji Sings vocal competition will be 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8.

Contestants will compete for cash and prizes, and finalists in the 13-20 and 21-plus categories will also compete for a chance to move onto the statewide Minnesota Sings vocal competition in October.
Judges for the competition will be Zachary Swank, Caige Jambor and NikkiLee Nolden.
