RIT Students Strut Their Stuff in Tiger Idol Competition

Reality TV comes to the stage at Rochester Institute of Technology. A gentler version of the hit TV show American Idol, RIT’s Tiger Idol competition features plenty of talent and drama with a little less criticism.

Now in its second year, auditions for Tiger Idol begin Jan. 12-14 and culminate in a final competition on Jan. 30.

Sponsored by Student Government as part of RIT’s homecoming celebration, the event gives RIT students a chance to show their talent outside of the classroom and also offers a $500 prize to the winner.

Schedule of events open to the media:

  • Monday, Jan. 12, 6-8 p.m., Tiger Idol auditions in Ingle Auditorium, Student Alumni Union.
  • Tuesday, Jan. 13, 6-8 p.m., auditions in Ingle Auditorium, SAU.
  • Wednesday, Jan. 14, 8-10 p.m., auditions in Ingle Auditorium, SAU.
  • Friday, Jan. 30, 6-8 p.m., Tiger Idol final competition in the SAU cafeteria.

    Founded in 1829, RIT is internationally recognized as a leader in computing, engineering, imaging, technology, fine and applied arts, and education for the deaf. RIT enrolls more than 15,500 students in 340 undergraduate and graduate programs.
