About Wishes
Wishes is Disney Elite's Anniversary Competition held on the Smule app.
Named after the now retired fireworks show at Walt Disney World, we hope to bring that magic and creativity to this competition by challenging the contestants with Disney rounds that increasingly get harder as the competition goes on.
We have already successfully hosted five seasons, where the winners gained membership into Disney Elite as a character of their choosing as well as a feature on our website, Smule, and all of our social media, along with a few other cool prizes.
For our seventh season, Wishes is a SOLO competition! Get ready for the magic as registration opens on June 9, 2023! Be on the lookout for announcements on our Smule page, Instagram and Facebook.

Requirements:
- Must have the Line App. This is where we will post all the information regarding rounds and results. It is a free app available on the App Store and Google Play. Be sure that you have "Allow others to add by ID" enabled so that we can add you into the competition chat easily.
- **Note: There is no age limit to join this competition. However, we must stress that if you are 15 and younger you must have parent permission to have Line in order to compete. We don't want anyone getting in trouble over this since this is an online competition.
- Must follow both the Disney Elite page and the Disney Elite Productions page on Smule.
Judging Criteria
Your score is out of 100%
Vocal Quality: (40%) This pertains to things such as: staying on pitch, using proper diction, breath support, timing, blending etc. We will be tightly judging on your ability to properly sing no matter what your voice types may be. Please, do not compare yourself to others vocally. Everyone’s voice is a little different, and there are numerous different voice types. Just show confidence and show us you.
Recording Quality: (20%) This is the easiest criteria to meet. Please use headphones. If you’re not wearing headphones, you will have terrible feedback making it almost impossible to judge. Most judges will not listen to a song if the feedback is overwhelming. Other notes: make sure you’re in a semi quiet environment. The DE Judges looooove pets, but we don’t want to hear them when we’re supposed to be listening to you!
Creativity: (25%) How did you make your song your own? We don’t want exact replicas of the original songs. Did you pick a song that was a little out of the box? We have nothing against popular songs, but make sure you’re making it your own.
Enjoyability: (15%) This is pretty self explanatory. You can put a ton of work into a song, but is it enjoyable? Examples of a low score could be: boring, rushed, sloppy, overall unpolished. Would someone listen to your track more than once?
Deductions:
2pts wrong hashtag
2pts wrong cover art
5pts not following round requirements
Disqualifications:
