It costs nothing to enter and cash prizes will be award. The contest is open to Tioga County residents who have never made money using their special skills, so no professionals need apply.
Each performance is limited to 5 minutes, with a maximum of 15 participants. Prior years’ winners who wish to compete again will be put on a waiting list. A PA system will be provided but contestants shall provide all other equipment needed for their own act.
Winners will be chosen by a panel of 3 judges who will award cash prizes in three age groups:
up to and including 11 years of age, 12 to 17 years of age, and 18 years of age and over.
To compete in the Amateur Talent Contest, contact Cindy Evans at 570-376-2072. Entries must be postmarked on or before August 2, 2015, and sent to Evans at 23 Seward St., Westfield, PA 16950.
