Ultimate Elvis

Once again, Windsor Elvis Fest has been invited to be a sanctioned preliminary competition for the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest to be held in Memphis during Elvis week in August 2008 by Elvis Presley Enterprises. The contest is a search for the Elvis Tribute Artist that is the "best representation of the legacy of Elvis Presley."

The winner of the contest will receive the title of "The Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist," along with official recognition by Elvis Presley Enterprises, a cash prize and more.

The world of Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) is a phenomenon like no other. It is estimated there are 30,000 or more ETA's worldwide. Elvis Presley Enterprises understands the role that ETA's play in the Elvis legacy.
