My Camp Rock

My Camp Rock is a singing competition based on the Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock and its sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

British version
2009: My Camp Rock
My Camp Rock, the first season, aired on Disney Channel UK from April 3 to 25, 2009. The first promo aired to promote the show aired one month earlier. It was a singing competition that invited UK viewers to log online and make a video of themselves singing "This Is Me", and "We Rock" as a group, a duet or a solo, with entries posted from 19 December 2008, until the closing date, 11 February 2009.
The competition was open to girls and boys aged 8 to 16. The best 8 entries were picked to participate in the TV show, and to attend a 4-day intensive Camp Rock-style singing and dancing workshop. The four judges whittled the 8 acts down to 4 to compete in the Final Jam, which was held at the Riverside Studios on April 24, where a viewer vote decided the winner. The eight finalists had the opportunity to demonstrate their musical talent to the panel of judges through a range of music based activities and also some physical activities.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “My Camp Rock” is reality television franchise. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Camp, Rock and reality, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “reality television franchise” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2517238. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2010 and 2008.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
