However, we hope to provide our donor's with a highlight reel following the virtual event.

As we reimagined the auditions this season, it has been our priority to run the competition responsibly in a safe and equitable way under the current circumstances. In planning all of the auditions this season, please know that our values are this:

- We will not put anyone’s health or safety at risk to participate in the auditions.
- We will be as transparent about our process as possible.
- We will uphold high artistic and technological standards in producing the auditions, but we do not expect singers to have access to the highest level of technology. We’ve added a “singer resources” section on our website to help with their own video setup.
