presents
A Virtual Talent Competition on Zoom

“Southbury’s Got Talent” (SGT) is an opportunity to share your talent with an audience. Invite friends and family to view and enjoy a fun evening of entertainment, and vote on their favorite acts. It is the perfect place for the community to gather, support the arts, and shine a spotlight on our diverse and talented Southbury neighbors.
HOW TO BECOME A CONTESTANT - As of 4/1/2021 all performance slots have been filled. Please join us as a viewer and voter. See below...

SGT will feature two talent divisions, a Youth Division for ages 4 to 17 and an Adult Division for performers 18 and over.

A $100 first place, cash prize will be awarded in each division.

Winners will be determined by the greatest number of votes received from the audience. All other acts will receive a participation prize.

The virtual stage is open to all Southbury residents and all forms of talent, with acts such as singing, dancing, comedy, magic, instrumental, stunts, variety, and other G rated, family friendly genres. Single acts, duos or groups are welcome to compete.
