INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S CLUB

The show, to be structured like the popular televised talent shows in the U.S. and the U.K., will feature performers in three age categories: Wee Ones (4-7 years old); Middlings (8-11 years); Tweens (12-15). The show will be televised live on ABS-TV. Celebrity judges, the audience, and LIME cellular service users through Text to Win will determine the winning act in each age category, and then the judges will select an overall grand prize winner. Prizes will include cash awards and performance opportunities.

To narrow the field down for the final event, open auditions will be held on 20, 21, 27 and 28 March, with the venues to be announced shortly.  Judges with backgrounds in arts education will select the final five acts from each age category that will then perform on 17 April. 
 

Acceptable talent includes singing, dancing, musical performance, comedy or acting, with entrants being able to perform in only one category. Performances should be limited to no longer than 8 minutes, and can include solo performers, pairs, or groups of up to six children. Entry fees are $40 per solo performer, and $30 per participant for pairs or groups.
