The judges are anxiously awaiting the auditions for 2010 Calhoun’s Got Talent competition.

If you or someone you know is 18 years of age or older (groups welcome) and has an unusual or special talent this is the time to let that gift shine.

Participants will come together at the Harris Arts Center on Nov. 30 and Dec 1 at 6 p.m. to audition in front of the panel of judges. Contestants will be judged on talent, costume, originality and skill. If selected, the participant(s) will go on to compete on stage before a live audience Jan. 23, 30 and Feb 6.

The audience will be in charge of the voting at that point and will choose the winning contestants that go on to the next round.

The three-week competition will feature a different performance by the contestants each week leading up to the finale which includes the awarding of the grand prize of $500.
