CARMEL, IN – There is still time to submit a video audition for the second year of Midtown’s Got Talent presented by Allied Solutions. We are looking for talented and entertaining soloists, age 11 years and up, with stage presence and charisma to participate in the multi-week competition. Contestants who are selected by judges based on their video audition will compete in a Youth, Teen or Adult category. The judges are looking and listening for participants who can “wow” them with their 90-second audition tape and then go on to entertain live audiences at Midtown Plaza throughout the contest.

“The arts are an important economic development tool for Carmel and we want to encourage and discover talented performers. This competition, set in our beautiful new Midtown Plaza, will help singers hone their skills and provide entertainment for families visiting Midtown,” said Mayor Jim Brainard.

We look forward to seeing our gifted employees and Carmel community residents join the competition and inspire us with their musical talent,” said Pete Hilger, Allied Solutions CEO.

Contest finals will take place October 7 – 9 and cash prizes up to $500 will be awarded in each age category, as well as an Outstanding Vocal Performance and Outstanding Stage Presence award in each category. As the competition narrows to the semi-finals and finals, contestants will have the opportunity to impress the judges with up to four songs in the final round.
