Michael Copon Hosts World Championships of Performing Arts Competition
LOS ANGELES - Filipino-American actor, singer, model Michael Copon who was inducted to Hall of Fame Award in last year's World Championship of Performing Arts (where Philippine contender Jed Madela won the coveted Grand Champion) will have the honor of hosting the upcoming 10th annual WCOPA 2006 international competition. The competition will start from August 6 and will bookend on August 12 for the Grand Final Competition, which will be held at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood, California.
Mr. Griff O'Neil, President and CEO of WCOPA has only good words to tell about Michael's being inducted to Hall of Fame, "We were looking for a young, up-and-rising actor or actress who could serve as a 'role model' and inspiration for our contestants who are aspiring performers from around the world. With Michael coming from a small town, persevering with auditions, dedicated to training and learning more about his craft, caring for and about others, plus becoming an astute businessperson all provided the criteria needed to honor him and present him to our audience. Indeed, Michael turned out to be especially charming, professional and motivational to these youths. The induction was the first activity of the World Championship of Performing Arts. After the ceremony, he was very patient and kind by giving words of encouragement, individually to all contestants who came up to him signing autographs and graciously allowing endless number of photos to be taken," Mr. O'Neil proudly told to this writer.
What are we expecting for the upcoming WCOPA? "Over 40 countries are scheduled to be represented, but we never know until the last minute because of the visa situation of some of the contestants coming from different countries. Contestant registration and Orientation will take place at the Burbank Hilton, as well as the preliminaries (August 7, 8, & 9) also happening at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn. Semi-Finals will be on August 10. 'Go-Sees' and Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, August 11 at the Burbank Hilton. The opening Ceremony will be on Sunday evening, August 6, and the finals are Saturday evening on August 12 (both are held at the Hollywood Palladium)."
"Past Grand Champions/World winners are always invited to have as guest performers," Mr. O'Neil continued. Among the list, he wrote: "This year, we are privileged to have with us Jessica Johnson (Junior Grand Champion Vocalist 2003-2005); Katy Benko (1999 Grand Champion vocalist from Virginia); Amanda Hawkins (2002 Junior Grand Champion Performer of the World -from Colorado); Samantha and Anna Strachan (2003 Grand Champion Performers of the World Ð from Jamaica); Donald Douglas (2005 Junior Grand Champion Performer of the World Ð dancer from New York); and Jed Madela (2005 Grand Champion Performer of the World (vocalist from the Philippines). I'm also excited to announce that famous popular television personality and multi-Emmy winner, Bob Eubanks, will host the Opening Ceremony and Michael Copon will hosts the spectacular Finals."
The former Blue Power Ranger television star who also played Felix on WB's hit series "One Tree Hill" and winner of the recent reality-tv VH1's 'But Can They Sing,' Michael Copon, is currently on the new television series 'Beyond the Break,' on N Channel (check out www.the-n.com) playing Vin, the Hawaiian surfer.
