SO you think you can sing or dance? Then the Bloem Show Computicket Talent Search Competition is your opportunity. The event, which is in its second year, organised by the Bloem Show in conjunction with Computicket, Pacofs and Kovsie FM, is looking for young people who can either sing or dance. Elmarie Prinsloo, CEO of the Bloem Show, said the main objective of the project was to identify and assist talented young artists to start a career. “We are seeking talented individuals or groups who are gifted in either singing or dancing. They must be between the ages of 18 and 30 with no professional experience,” Prinsloo told Express. “Only dancing and singing will be allowed. Performances may not be longer than three minutes. No bands are allowed, we want only back tracks and acoustic,” explained Prinsloo. Singers and dancers are invited for auditions to be held at the André Huguenet Theatre in Bloemfontein. They will perform before a panel of judges on Saturday (14/03). “Registration will be done from 08:00 until 13:00. It is compulsory to register for auditions. Nobody will be allowed to take part in auditions without registering,” said Prinsloo. The top ten finalists in each category will be shortlisted and they will then participate in an exciting workshop aimed at developing their skills. It will be hosted by Pacofs on Sunday (15/03). The semi-finals of the competition will be held on 21 March and five finalists will be chosen in each category.

R5 000. The third prize is R2 500 and the remaining seven finalists will receive R500 each. For more information, call 051-448-9894 or send an email to info@bloemskou.co.za.
