The competition welcomes talents of all kinds and promises an exciting exhibition of the region’s creativity.

“I’m excited to see other performance artists in the region reveal and share their gifts,” she said.

“Apart from talent shows being a great way to promote artists, creativity is one of the beautiful parts of our community’s identity.”

The competition unfolds in three stages: auditions on April 6, the semi-finals on May 17, and the grand finale on June 7, 2025.

Coaching workshops will be available to all participants to help prepare for their performances.
