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.

Self-Defense for Girls and Women

The R.A.D. (Rape. Aggression. Defense.) Self-Defense for Women Program, taught by the Newton Police Department, is for girls and women ages 15 years and older, that covers topics of risk awareness and risk reduction. Along with the lecture portion, the majority of time is spent learning hands on techniques. Participants work at their own pace to learn that they are capable of physically defending themselves if the situation arises. This Program is especially important for high school juniors and seniors who may be travelling abroad this summer and/or attending college in the fall.
