We’ve got big news and it could mean even more cash in the pocket of one talented individual or group right here in Kosciusko County!

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.

The Jay County Chamber of Commerce contacted StaceyPageOnline.com this week to offer the opportunity to our most talented county resident. The only catch is, you have to enter before you can win!

Entrants for KGT must provide a video of themselves performing their talent and then upload it in our special entry form. The top vote-getting talent – as voted on by our readers – will win $1,000 cash prize. The runner-up will receive $400.

The great thing about this contest is that, first and foremost, it recognizes people right here in Kosciusko County and provides them with an outlet to have their talents seen by the entire world. With 2 million page views each month, StaceyPageOnline.com is realizing more and more readers each and every week. Wouldn’t it be amazing if a talent is “discovered” right here in our own community?

Whatever your talent may be – singing, performing in a band, dancing, stand up comedy or even something totally unique – 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.

Watch our video for all of the rules and details. Entry deadline is Sunday, June 30, but voting will only go to Sunday, July 7, so the earlier you enter, the better your odds of winning.

Readers will only be permitted to vote one time per video, per IP address.

The 5-night live talent competition in Portland, Ind., will provide our local winner with automatic inclusion in the quarter finals of the live competition. Auditions for the Jay County contest are occurring the last week of June and must also be done via Internet. For more information, visit Stars In the Park.
