The preliminary round auditions are now on to decide who will be performing in the semi-finals of this year's Youth Talent Search 2014.
Hopefuls are being encouraged to submit their own videos of their special talent in a bid to get chosen to perform live at the semi-finals in Richmond this spring.
Richmond's Jennifer Le, who finished fourth last year, said she loved being part of the competition, claiming the experience was a "stepping stone."
"It was an honour to share the stage with such amazing and talented competitors," said Le. "Being one of the winners has given me the chance to add to my dance resume and explore dance related opportunities.
"I've also been able to build connections with those who share the same interest in dance as me."
The competition is open to kids aged 7 to 19 and is designed to give youth exposure and experience in a theatre environment.
Whether the talent is singing, dancing, playing an instrument or a variety act, it gives kids the chance to shine on stage in front of top industry judges should they make it to the finals to be held in September. This year's top prize includes a headshot session, automatic signing with a film/TV agent, a role in a local production and a Youth Talent Search trophy.
The preliminary round is held exclusively through online video submission.
Those wishing to submit for this year's competition can upload a video to YouTube and email the link with their name, phone number, age and hometown to [email protected]. The deadline to submit is March 15.
One of the semi-finals will take place at the Richmond Cultural Centre on May 25.
