Newton Has Talent

Calling all singers, dancers, musicians and other performers. If you have the chops, we have the contest.

The Newton Rotary Club’s third annual Newton Has Talent is a city-wide contest, open to anyone who lives or goes to school in Newton and is at least 13 years old by March 29, 2015. (If the act involves more than one person, at least one person must be a Newton resident or attend school in Newton)

Enter by uploading a video of your act to the contest’s private Youtube site http://newtonhastalent.com between February 1st and 12 midnight on February 24th. In addition to the video, you’ll be asked to submit a photo, biography and a $25 entry fee.

Ten finalists, voted on by the public via the YouTube site, will perform at Newton North High School on March 29th before celebrity judges and the public. The first place winner receives $1,000, second place — $500 and third place— $250. The top three winners will also perform at Newton Festival of the Arts on May 9th at Newton City Hall.
