Auditions are complete, and 14 acts have been selected to perform at the third annual A Cappella & Unplugged at the Capitol Theatre in Chambersburg, PA, on June 17 at 7 PM ET.

Local judges, comprised of theater/arts professionals and local celebrities, will select the top six acts based on execution and skill, originality and creativity, stage presence, and audience response.

Last year, 30 competitors performed before judges during the audition stages.

Last year's winners, sibling duo Taylor Piper and Kristopher Potter, took home the $500 grand prize.

Held by the Franklin County Visitors Bureau, the popular vocal competition is designed to bring local and regional talent together in a multi-round event. The winner is chosen on July 15 just before the 1864: The Burning light show, which honors the spirit of the town's residents who rebuilt Chambersburg after it was burned down during the Civil War.

1864: The Burning & Rebirth

This year's A Cappella & Unplugged offers a mix of talent, including the a cappella cadence of performers Nicole Baker, Tiana Webber, and Amanda Dell; the musical country stylings of Elly Cooke; soulful ballads and songs from Mickey Darr; traditional music of Scott Spielman; and guitar and vocal skills by Jesse Landis. Also competing that night will be Joanne Howland of Chambersburg and Dominik Wiesniewski of Waynesboro.

"1864: The Burning commemorates Franklin County's history," said Janet Pollard, executive director of the Franklin County Visitors Bureau.

A Cappella & Unplugged celebrates the spirit of the people, who brought Chambersburg to life after the burning. What better way to uplift and remember than with music?

The second round of the competition will begin on June 26, and the public will get a chance to vote. The top three performers -- the contestants with the most likes of their video on Facebook -- will have a chance to move forward in the competition and perform again on the evening of July 15 as part of the festivities leading up to 1864 before a champion is crowned.
