A beacon of Colorado’s Western tradition for 119 years, national anthem singers are needed for the best 16 days of January.
DENVER — National anthem singers are needed to be part of Colorado’s biggest and most historic Western event.
The National Western Stock Show has launched a national anthem contest to find a singer to be part of the 119th annual show which opens Saturday, Jan. 11, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 26.
A Colorado tradition since 1906, the part-rodeo, part-livestock show and part-fair brings hundreds of thousands of people to the National Western Complex each year for a celebration of our state’s agricultural heritage.
Interested singers can submit a video submission through Sunday, Oct. 20, at midnight.
The top nine videos will be selected for a round of voting through Nov. 6 and a grand prize winner will be announced Nov. 7 on Denver country music radio station 98.5 KYGO.
The winner will get to sing the national anthem at a pro rodeo during the 2025 National Western Stock Show.
The National Western Stock Show will host 29 rodeo performances, including Colorado vs. the World rodeos, Mexican Rodeo Extravaganza, PBR Bull Riding and MLK Jr. African-American Heritage Rodeo. There is also a full schedule of horse shows, starting with the RAM Freestyle Reining show and family events, including the Xtreme Dog shows and Wild West shows.
The National Western has one of the world’s richest regular-season professional rodeos, one of the country’s largest horse shows and Colorado’s largest agricultural trade show. The Stock Show welcomes attendees from 48 states and 32 countries and will drive an estimated $120 million in economic impact to the Denver area, organizers said.
Hosting over 25 breeds of cattle, bison, yaks, and longhorns, the Cille and Ron Williams Yards and the HW Hutchison Family Stockyards Event Center are the epicenter for the 2025 Super Bowl of livestock shows.
