COMMUNITY: This School's Got Talent Competition

This School's Got Talent competition is back! South Carolina's most exciting, fan-voted, state-wide student talent contest is returning for its fourth year. Celebrity judges from GRAMMY award-winning super-group Hootie & The Blowfish will select the top entries. The student deemed most talented will earn the opportunity to perform LIVE before top education, business and government leaders at the "South Carolina Teacher of the Year Celebration" on April 23rd at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.

The contest is open to public school students between 1st and 12th grades in all South Carolina school districts. To enter, adults 18 or older may submit videos of students showcasing their skills on the South Carolina Future Minds Facebook page. Videos must be at least 30 seconds in length and may not exceed five minutes in length. The submission period is from February 1st until midnight on Sunday, March 2nd. Finalists will be announced on or before March 10th, and public voting via Facebook will begin immediately afterward. The winner will be announced on March 24, 2014.
