On Friday, 20th 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 take place in the Laugardalsh\u00f6ll on Saturday, 24th March. The winners of the evening were Birta Gu\u00f0n\u00fd \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir from Vitanum and Agnes Bj\u00f6rk R\u00fanarsd\u00f3ttir from \u00d6ldunni.<\/p>\n
The competition took place at the B\u00e6jarb\u00ed\u00f3, and the venue was packed with a fantastic atmosphere. A total of twelve acts took part, two from each youth centre, having been selected in preliminary rounds held by the centres earlier in the winter. The judges were Una Mar\u00eda Bergmann, Sandra Lind \u00deorsteinsd\u00f3ttir, Unnur Sara Eldj\u00e1rn and Dan\u00edel Arnarson, and the evening's presenter was Andr\u00e9s \u00de\u00f3r \u00deorvar\u00f0arson, a staff member at the Hrauni youth club. <\/p>\n
The winners of the evening, and therefore the representatives of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's youth clubs at Samf\u00e9s, were Birta Gu\u00f0n\u00fd \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir from Vitan with the Tina Turner song 'Proud Mary', and Agnes Bj\u00f6rk R\u00fanarsd\u00f3ttir from \u00d6ldan with the James Brown song 'This Is a Man's Man's Man's World'. The judges and the audience alike were all in agreement that the competition was exceptionally tough this year, as there are incredibly talented youngsters in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. We congratulate all the contestants on their fantastic achievement and look forward to seeing the winners be our pride at Samf\u00e9s.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
