Raleigh man wins Winston-Salem
IFB's first "Blind Idol"
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Shane Dittmar of Raleigh, N.C. was
named the winner of the first-ever "Blind
Idol" singing competition held in
Winston-Salem on Feb. 28.
Hosted by Winston-Salem Industries
for the Blind (IFB), the event was open to
individuals who are legally blind and resi
dents of North Carolina. "Blind Idol" is
believed to be the first competition of its
kind in the country.
"Blind Idol" showcased the incredible
talent of the singers who performed and,
perhaps more importantly, underscored
the message that people who are blind
have many talents, abilities and skills,"
said "Blind Idol" co-organizer and IFB
employee Anastasia Powell. "Being blind
is just one piece of who we are as individ
uals and does not limit us in any way."
Dittmar was one of five finalists who
performed in front of a sold-out audience
at the Southeastern Center for
Contemporary Art. Dittmar sang two orig
inal songs and played the piano.
A native of Raleigh, he graduated from
Sanderson High School and plans to
attend UNC-Greensboro later this year to
study music composition. Dittmar
received a grand prize package valued at
$3,000 including a $1,000 cash award,
recording time in a professional studio,
professional headshot and wardrobe gift
card.
The other four finalists were Jennifer
Finley of Winston-Salem, Taffany Bolger
of Winston-Salem, Charity Hampton of
Rural Hall and Lucille Mahoney of
Asheville. The competition began in the
fall of 2014 with audio submissions that
led to the selection of 20 semi-finalists
who auditioned on Dec. 6 at the Shirley
Recital Hall at Salem College to a crowd
of more than 240. The judges then select
ed the five finalists to perform in the finale
competition.
"Music has always been such a big
part of my life; through music, I've
formed deep friendships, made unforget
table memories, and discovered my
strength, independence, and freedom,"
said Dittmar. "I am unbelievably thrilled
and inexpressibly thankful to IFB, A
Brighter Path, SECCA, my fellow contest
ants, who are my new friends, and every
one else who helped to make 'Blind Idol'
the success that it was for the chance that
they gave me to bring my music to life."
As one of the largest employers of
people who are blind or visually impaired
in the country, IFB organizes company
choirs, bands and other music groups, but
it was two employees who came up with
the idea of a statewide competition.
Powell, program associate for IFB's A
Brighter Path, and Chris Flynt, director of
A Brighter Path, are both blind and huge
music fans. Flynt, a gifted musician in his
own right, knows the talent pool runs deep
in North Carolina. "You don't need to see
to be a performer or to enjoy music. You
just have to feel it in your heart," he said.
Powell hopes the competition will
reinforce the message that people without
sight should pursue their professional and
personal dreams. "Losing my sight as a
teenager was very difficult, but I never let
my blindness stand in the way of pursuing
my goals," she said. 'Today, I have five
beautiful daughters and a rewarding career
with IFB."
Powell said that IFB plans to expand
"Blind Idol" in 2016 to include contest
ants from across the United States.
Details are available at
www.blindidol .com.
Winston-Salem Industries for the
Blind (IFB) is a nonprofit corporation
founded in 1936 that provides employ
ment, training and services for people who
are blind or visually impaired.
As one of the largest employers of
people who are blind or visually impaired
in the United States, IFB operates manu
facturing facilities in Winston-Salem and
Asheville in addition to more than 40
office supply stores and optical centers
across the country. It recently held a
grand re-opening of the Mattress Store at
Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind.
IFB also provides outreach through A
Brighter Path Foundation, which operates
Community Low Vision Centers across
North Carolina and Tracy's Little Red
School House based in Winston-Salem.
