Watch and cheer on your local talent as they heat up the stage in a showcase contest for 1st and 2nd place! Prizes include several hundred dollars in gift certificates to local area businesses and cash-prizes. Judges include local area celebrities such as elected officials, well known musicians, DJs and other local figures. Each month the winner of the previous month’s showcase is invited back to be the special music guest to entertain the audience.

A “Super Showcase Playoff,” featuring the monthly winners of the 2015-2016 season will be held shortly after the September 2 Valley Talent Showcase. The overall winner will receive a slot to perform on the Court of Honor Stage at The Big E, Saturday, September 24 at 3:00pm and a $500 cash prize.
