TEEN TALENT 2018
UNTIL THE WORLD KNOWS
The Registration/Audition Process
All Contestant Entries MUST be Registered in our Youth Conference. If not, you are not eligible to
participate.
Each contestant must audition and be selected to participate in the teen talent program. To audition,
contestants must submit a short video of themselves along with their completed entry form. This video
should include your name, age, home church (city & state), an introduction of your particular talent, how
long you’ve been using this talent, and a short clip of you performing your actual talent. THE AUDITION
does not have to be the song/composition that will be performed during the showcase. Please be sure
that this video is clear (audibly and visually). It is encouraged that each audition video be as
professional as possible, as this will enhance your chance of being chosen for the live show.
All entries must be submitted NO LATER THAN June 30th . Teen Talent Contestants will be notified of their acceptance and participation. If you are selected, please plan to follow the following guidelines and rules for participating.
All submissions should be made at www.planetrockyouth.com.
