“Windsor Essex Kid’s Got Talent” Virtual Talent Contest For Children
Even though we can’t be physically together, our community wants to celebrate you and your talent by launching the first annual : “Windsor Essex Kid’s Got Talent” a Windsor Essex Virtual Kids’ Talent Contest!
The contest is open to any child 0 to 18 years of age living in Windsor or Essex County. Any and all talents are welcome. Organizers are looking for a cute baby that has the cutest smile or blows the best bubbles. Definitely not your traditional contest!
Register online after May 9. Submit a short video showcasing your talent. Contest rules and instructions provided at registration. Videos accepted until midnight May 31.
Winners will be determined by a volunteer panel of Celebrity Judges. Winners will be announced June 23, 2021 by a virtual broadcast hosted by John Fairley. At least three winners will be selected for each age category. The more money raised the more that will be given away to the kids in our community. Each winner will receive a prize package of lessons or equipment to pursue their passion. Where possible local artisans negatively impacted by COVID-19 will be employed to provide lessons.
In a compassionate community, people can share their time and talent with others, and children are supported by their community to thrive!
This contest is dedicated to the memory of Bill Pillon, a great father and grandfather, and to the memory of everyone who has died in the past year whether related to COVID or not. Many of us in the community have not been able to participate in services to honour our loved ones due to the pandemic. Since Bill loved to watch his grandkids put on little talent shows this is one way to honour his memory.
