Register for the competition at www.islandidol.org or in person at Central YMCA, 401 Atkinson Drive.
There will be celebrity judges, free pupus, door prizes of trips and spa packages, a performance by Frank De Lima and an appearance by Miss Hawaii 2004 Olena Rubin. Entry to the club is restricted to those age 21 and older.
