KOTV has scheduled auditions for this summer's "Gimme the Mike" vocal competition for next weekend.

Auditions will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday at Woodland Hills Mall, 71st Street and Memorial Drive. Those auditioning must complete the application, available online at www.kotv.com and at the station, 302 S. Frankfort Ave., and bring it to the open auditions along with a photo ID. All auditions will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

To be eligible, participants must be at least 18 years old or older at the time of the audition. Those performing will have up to 60 seconds to sing a song of their choice without musical accompaniment.

A judges' panel will select the top 20 finalists who will then compete on the fourth season of the televised competition on channel 6. Five individual winners, plus a wild card favorite chosen by the viewing audience, will compete in a one-hour live broadcast from Cain's Ballroom in August.
