Got Talent?  Think you can sing?  Are you between the ages of 5-17?

Local, performing arts experts will judge the auditions and offer professional advice and support to all the contestants. One contestant from each audition site will advance to the city wide finale. The finale will be held on July 14, 2011 in Baltimore and also judge by a panel of performing arts professionals.



The winner receives an artist development package including a professional demo recording, a chance to perform with the Baltimore Symohony Orchestra, and a $300 DTLR gift card.
