Do you have a talent that stands out? If so, submit your video to Huntsville’s Got Talent

North Muskokans looking to showcase their creative abilities – whether it’s singing, dancing, comedy, or something else – can enter into the Huntsville’s Got Talent compeitition.

The top three contestants as chosen by a panel of judges win prizes ($1,000, $250, $100).

Past winners include guitarist and singer-songwriter Todd Blair, pianist Rob Attfield, contortionist/acrodancer Andrea Hill, and opera singer Amy Wallace.

“We tend to get a lot of singers,” says Jennifer Jerrett, organizer of Huntsville’s Got Talent. “But, we have had musicians, last year we had an amazing drummer, he was so good. We’ve had people play the saxophone, we’ve had gymnasts, contortionists, we had a young lady do the silks . . . really it’s any talent that you have. If you read poetry and are a master at evoking emotion in people, then try out!”

Don’t delay … the deadline to enter for the 2024 event is January 26 at midnight – less than 36 hours from the time of this posting.

“It’s free to submit a video and audition,” says Jennifer, who gives credit to their sponsors that allow the competition to take place.

But, don’t fret, there is still time as registration is easy and all you need is to record a 60 second video showing your skills, and follow the steps below.
