Congratulations to everyone who auditioned!

The judges were very impressed by the talent in our community and entertained by all of your submissions.

We had a total of 28 video submissions and chose the top 15 scoring acts to participate in next week's Talent Show. Scores were given by a 5 panel team of judges. They judged each act on five different criteria: Stage Presence, Preparedness, Pitch/skill level, Appropriateness and Entertainment value.

Remember, you are all amazing! and it is tough to be constrained by time and to have to limit our number of participants.

Please keep working on all your talents and feel proud that you were a part of the audition process.

Congratulations To Everyone who Auditioned. You were ALL Fantastic!
