The Prince Edward Island Association of Exhibitions are proud to present the “P.E.I. Mutual Insurance Company and the P.E.I. Association of Exhibitions 2008 Youth Talent competition”.
The Program is aimed at supporting and recognizing P.E.I.’s talented young performers, from thirteen through twenty-one years of age. This contest will appeal to aspiring singers, dancers, musicians, and novelty acts.
The volunteers who work in the fair industry have been well aware of the tremendous pool of young talent in their own communities. Year after year, incredible young performers appear at fairs in every corner of the province.
Nineteen years ago the industry decided it was time to recognize those young people who exhibit extraordinary talent and give them an opportunity to showcase their talent on a national scale.
Through the efforts of the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions, the Prince Edward Island Association of Exhibitions, and the support of the Patty Conklin Fund, the National Youth Talent Awards were born.
Today the national portion of this competition is known as the Canadian Youth Talent Competition.
We are pleased to announce that P.E.I. Mutual Insurance, has increased their sponsorship, enabling the Provincial finalist(s) to continue on to the Canadian National Youth Talent Competition. This sponsorship is the reason that Island Youth can go beyond the borders of Atlantic Canada, to meet and compete, with “la crème de la crème” from across Canada. Time after time the Provincial winner(s) come home exclaiming it has been “the experience of a lifetime” and extend high accolades to those responsible for making it possible.
To continue to grow this competition, the PEIAE requires on-going sponsorship, and we take this opportunity to acknowledge how greatly we appreciate the generosity and support of PEI Mutual Insurance. www.peimutual.com
Several previous youth talent participants who competed at the national level have moved on to careers in the entertainment industry.
Many of the young people on stage at this years competitions are aspiring young performers. Their participation in this program is just one more step on the road to success.
