With only 23 days left for video submission, the Kosciusko’s Got Talent Contest is nearing a close. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that StaceyPageOnline.com readers sign on and cast votes for their favorite talents.

With 31 entrants thus far and hundreds of votes cast, crowd favorites are beginning to be formed. Though many have signed in to vote for their favorite act, the chance at victory is still anyone’s game!

Whether your talent is dancing, miming, singing, acting, comedy, performing in a band or something totally unique, we want to see it. The Kosciusko’s Got Talent contest grand prize winner will walk away with a cool $1,000 cash and their very own live or video performance at the Kosciusko County Community Fair. The runner-up will receive $400.

Not only will the winner of the StaceyPageOnline.com Kosciusko’s Got Talent contest win $1,000, by special invitation, our top talent will also be gifted a spot in the Jay County Chamber of Commerce Stars in the Park contest where an additional $1,250 prize is up for grabs. In addition to the Kosciusko’s Got Talent deadline fast approaching, those interested in competing in the Stars in the Park competition must register soon. The registration deadline for auditions in the Jay County contest has been extended to Friday, June 14.

Though video submissions will be accepted at StaceyPageOnline.com through Sunday, June 30, entrants are encouraged to submit their talent video as soon as possible. The longer a video is up for public viewing the more time a contestant has to gain votes. This extra exposure time could be the difference in winning and losing the competition.

Once your video is posted make sure your family and friends take a moment to vote. Share the link to your video on Facebook or Twitter to help solicit votes from your many adoring fans.

So what are you waiting for? Upload your video to our link and provide your basic information through our Kosciusko’s Got Talent submission form. We need to be able to contact all entries so accurate and all information asked for in the entry form needs to be submitted.

Rules for submitting your video are simple! All videos must be no longer than 3 minutes and must feature local Kosciusko County talent. Group acts submitting a video must have a majority of their members located within the county. In addition, videos must be entirely family friendly with absolutely no lewd content, profane language or material that some may find offensive.

Once you’ve submitted your video we will review it and, providing it adheres to the rules, it will be posted. Then, all you need to do is tell your family and friends to get online and vote for your video! The talent with the most votes will win the $1,000 prize and the talent with the second most votes will walk away with $400! Be sure to encourage all your fans to cast their vote!

Video submissions are being accepted through Sunday, June 30, and voting, which will be done entirely by StaceyPageOnline.com readers, will conclude on Sunday, July 7. Readers will only be permitted to vote one time, per video, per IP address.
