We'll be honest, we never thought we would see Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson partner up for a project. But now, the two are hosting the new singing competition show American Song Contest, in which musicians from all 50 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and five U.S. territories will compete to win the title of Best Original Song.
Aside from the bragging rights that the winner will acquire after besting their competition, is there any other prize on American Song Contest? Does the Best Original Song creator get cash, like on other competition shows, or is there something else on the line?
What is the prize on 'American Song Contest'?
The main prize of American Song Contest is having your music named Best Original Song. As of now, no other prize details have been confirmed. According to wiwibloggs, there's a possibility that the winner of the show will be the interval act at the next Eurovision contest. Similarly, according to the blog, the winner of the next Eurovision Song Contest could also perform during the interval of American Song Contest, which many are calling Eurovision's U.S. counterpart.
Per the official Eurovision website, the winner of its Song Contest gets a glass trophy and the winning country gets the honor of hosting the following season of the competition show. So it's possible that something along those same lines could happen for the American spinoff show.
