Participate – more performance opportunities!
Singers and/or musicians enter to as many of the talent days possible and performs to an audience who undertans the development path of artists. Participants pay entry fees but no admission.
Six developmental talent shows per annum are presented in each participating town (Graaff-Reinet, Jeffreysbay, Port Elizabeth and Somerset East). The best participants are afforded the opportunity to participate in the GOLDEN DREAMS WOW!-STAR FINAL o 26 November in the Port Elizabeth Operahouse.
Judges - Constructive advice
WOW! STAR use judges who have experience that can be transferred to participants by listening to their work and by giving constructive and positive advice, which assist participants in improving their future shows and then get further advice about the next step.
Categories
At each talent day participants are divided into various categories to participate against their peers (or as close as possible).
Special Create-a-song category
This category is for participants who have their own song/musical work or a song/musical work written/composed by somebody else for the participant. Participants who have entered for the relevant talent day can participate in this category without any extra charge. Those who do not have original repertoire need not to worry - if you eventually choose this route, all sorts of assistance will be available.
The WOW!-round
The winners of each category takes part in the WOW!-round at the end of the talent day. This round is a mixed age and standards round in which participants from across the spectrum compete against each other. The idea is to allow the category winners to measure their performance to other winners and stimulate their performance even further.
Become a MINI WOW!-STAR
The winner of the WOW!-round is known as the MINI WOW!-STAR of the day and gets a floating trophy as proof of performance. However, the focus remains on the development of EACH participant and not who the winners are! The aim of WOW!-STAR is to assist the participant on the road to becoming a true entertainer.
