Talent Show

1st annual acting academy for kids talent show!

Acting Academy for Kids will be holding its 1st annual talent show with an online virtual competition for students! Send in a song, a dance, a monologue, or any other talents you have! Submit your videos to us from now until August 15. We will post all of our competitors’ videos on our website with a social media link for you to share with friends and family during our two week voting period. List who you’re voting for in your donation to have your vote counted! The votes will be tallied on August 31, so you will have two weeks to collect as many votes as you can!

All contestants will be entered into a raffle for a private masterclass with an industry professional.
This contest is FREE for Acting Academy students of past and present. Those students referred by an AA4K friend receive a $5 referral discount ($10 submission) and those finding out online require a $15 entrance fee.

All competitors will be divided into the following age groups:

4-8, 9-12, and 13-17 (Three Winners)

** The winner in the 4-8 and 9-12 categories will sing a duet with a BROADWAY ACTOR, get Q&A time one-on-one, and film & record their session with Acting Academy Founder, Stephen Zygo at Z Playhouse! **

** The teen winner will receive a private recording session at OC Hit Factory with Recording Artist, Manager and Studio Owner, Thomas Barsoe (www.OCHitFactory.com) **

Go to gofundme at ...com and start voting! REMEMBER - add your superstar's name, otherwise those votes will strictly be a donation to the cause!

QUESTION: How Will The Winner Be Chosen?
ANSWER: Two criteria: First, votes on gofundme. These carry significant weight. Second, a panel of industry judges will give each performer a score. These will then be factored into the overall score and we will have a winner in each category.

We will have a Facebook Live program where the top scoring performers in each category will be highlighted. At the end of the event, the winners will be announced! In addition, the winners will be announced on Facebook & Instagram as well as our website!

T-Shirt Design Competition:

We will be creating t-shirts for this event! On the front of the t-shirt, we are looking for a student designer to create this year’s logo. The winner of the contest will have their logo branded on the t-shirt for the event and it will appear online as our 1st logo for years to come! Don’t forget to creatively include your signature.

Logo title: 1st Annual Acting Academy for Kids Talent Show!

Please submit your logo directly to marisa.aa4k@gmail.com between July 15 - August 1 to be entered into the competition.

Poetry Contest:

We are looking for a very clever poetic submission to be used on the t-shirt, website and on social media. This type of writing needs to be concise, reflective of the times we are living in, and arts/kids/education (something in that vein) related. If you write something on the longer side, just remember to also create an abbreviated version so that it can fashionably fit on the t-shirt.

Please submit your poetry directly to marisa.aa4k@gmail.com between July 15 -
August 1 to be entered into the competition.
