A Cedar Rapids woman is representing Iowa Monday night on NBC’s “American Song Contest”.

The televised competition is modeled after the “Eurovision Song Contest”. Artists representing all 50 states will perform original songs as they compete to win America’s vote for best hit song. At the end of each night, one artist is selected by a national jury of music industry experts to automatically advance to the semi-finals. Then, America’s votes help to decide which three additional artists will advance.

Alisabeth Von Presley of Cedar Rapids will represent Iowa against ten other competitors Monday night. Presley has been a guest on KCJJ’s “Hey, Lang!” in the past.

Monday night’s debut of “American Song Contest” featuring Presley will air Monday night from 7-9pm on NBC.
