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). 

All entries must be submitted by June 15th. On June 20th, Teen Talent Contestants will be notified of their participation. If you are selected, please plan to follow the following guidelines and rules for participating.
