"American Idol" will Zoom into Pennsylvania on Labor Day, as it                                      holds its first-ever live virtual nationwide search for the next superstar.

The popular ABC televised talent show is holding remote auditions with show producers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.  Monday is Pennsylvania’s turn to showcase that an entertainer here has what it takes to wow the country.

Contestants must be between 15 and 28 years old to audition and even though Pennsylvanians are scheduled for Monday, they may also try out on any of the remaining “Idol Across America” audition date regardless of location. The tryouts nationwide end on Sept. 9.

Potential contestants can get information on the audition details and eligibility requirements, as well as submission forms, terms and conditions, at www.americanidol.com/auditions
