Terms and conditions of Cassowary Coast Talent Quest 2025.

Congratulations on considering showing your talents to a warm judging panel and encouraging audience. There are many cash prizes and awards to be won, but most importantly you'll have been courageous and performed your act... that in itself should be celebrated.
While we invite all people aged 5-18, there are some show rules you must agree to before applying.

** not all auditions will be chosen for the final show **

To be eligible-
* you must be aged 5-18 as of 12th April 2025. Categories are Junior ages 5-12yrs and Senior ages 13-18yrs.

* you must be a resident of the Cassowary Coast region.
* If the act is a group, the age of the oldest member will determine which category the act will be competing in... 5-12yrs or 13-18yrs.
* talents may include (but not limited to) circus tricks, skits, poetry, singing, dancing, magic, comedy, bands, instrumental, impressions, martial arts etc
* Everyone must complete, pay and return a Participant Application form and a Media Consent Form before audition day.
* Acts must not exceed 5min. Judges will not consider acts over 5min long.
* A person may apply and enter with no more than 3 separate acts... eg. Soloist, band member, part of dance troupe. 3 individual applications must be paid and entered.
* In all cases, the judges decision is final and not to be challenged. In the case of a tie, judges marks from first audition will be added to final marks and the winner will be determined by highest mark. If that is still tied, both acts will receive equal place honours.
* Acts are responsible for their own props, instruments, equipment, costumes and make-up.
* As this is a community event, there is zero tolerance for profanity, nudity and derogatory language.
* It is the act's members responsibility for any accompanying music tracks. These must be supplied to Sound and Lighting the day before the audition.
* A maximum of 24 acts will be chosen from the first auditions to perform in the final main event. These acts will be notified two days after the first auditions.

** This is a fun, all inclusive event. While nerves of anticipation as natural, please keep in mind that fun and celebration of unique talents are the aims of the event. **
