On 21 January, the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Youth Club Singing Competition was held. This annual competition is a qualifying round for the Samf\u00e9s Singing Competition, which will be held in the Laugardalsh\u00f6ll on Saturday, 14 March.<\/p>\n
The competition took place at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li in the youth club Hrauni, where it has been held in recent years. A total of 14 acts took part, two acts from each youth club, which had been selected in preliminary competitions held by the clubs earlier this winter.\n<\/p>\n
The judges were actress Bj\u00f6rk Jakobsd\u00f3ttir, musician Ingvar J\u00f3nsson, singer Rebekka Sif Stef\u00e1nsd\u00f3ttir and actress \u00d3l\u00f6f Hugr\u00fan Valdimarsd\u00f3ttir. The two acts chosen as winners and thus representatives of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's youth clubs at Samf\u00e9s were Telma Kolbr\u00fan Elmarsd\u00f3ttir, vocals, and Inga Steinunn Henningsd\u00f3ttir on piano. They come from the youth club \u00c1snum and performed the song Hallelujah.\n<\/p>\n
Then there was Ey\u00fe\u00f3r Eysteinsson from Mosinn, who performed the song Svartur Afgan. In second place was Sara Renee Griffin from the youth club Hrauni\u00f0, and in third place were M\u00e1rus Bj\u00f6rgvin Gunnarsson and Fann\u00fd L\u00edsa Hevesi from the youth club Vitanum. The presenters for the evening were Sindri Bl\u00e6r Gunnarsson and Viktor P\u00e9tur Finnsson.<\/p>\n
Judges and spectators alike were all in agreement that the competition was exceptionally tough this year, as there are incredibly talented youngsters in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur who receive great support from their clubs and families. This was clearly evident yesterday, as the venue was packed to the rafters and the atmosphere was electric.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to all the competitors \u2013 you were brilliant.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
