Australia’s largest youth talent competition now open!

Forget reality TV shows – if you’re creative and you know it, Australia’s largest national talent competition is the best way to show it!
The National Talent Competition (NTC) is part of the National Youth Week 2009 (NYW 09) celebrations and will showcase Australia’s best young creative talents. All young Australians aged 12 to 25 are invited to RockIT, WriteIT, ShootIT, SnapIT and DesignIT until entries close on April 14.
The theme for NYW 09 is Make a Move – encouraging young people to strive for their goals and live their dreams, be it travel, sport, community involvement, study, career, art or music.
The NTC has more than $70,000 worth of prizes up for grabs including computer and software packages, music vouchers and professional camera equipment. Entries will be judged in two age categories – Junior (12-17) and Senior (18-25). Industry representatives will select an overall winner in each category while an online poll (held after NYW) will give young Australians the chance to decide their People’s Choice winners.
NTC Industry judge Faustina “Fuzzy” Agolley from Network Ten’s Video Hits urged young Australians to ‘Make a Move’ by entering the NTC and showing the nation what they’re made of.
“The National Talent Competition is an awesome opportunity for young people around Australia to demonstrate their talents, impress some top industry judges and score some great prizes that will help them to pursue their passion,” Fuzzy said.
“The NTC is a great career launch-pad. Chart-topping band Operator Please was a previous winner of RockIT! So grab your chance at the big time and jump online at youthweek.com for all the entry details.”
