The Showcase is named after John Ritter, Tex Ritter's actor son, because the family wanted to do something to help young people get started in the business. They knew Tex and John would both like this. Tryouts are first come first serve. Judges are professional musicians, singers or promoters who have been in the business for a long time. Contestants will be chosen to compete at the finals on the Friday before the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday each year. The winner will represent the TCMHOF the following year at various concerts and special events as the TCMHOF Ambassador.
