Launch date announced for Harrogate & District’s Got Talent 2021
Harrogate & District’s Got Talent is back and it will be launched this weekend.
Helmed by Harrogate filmmaker Velton J Lishke, who runs V-Pac Productions, it’s the second time the event has taken place digitally after its success online last year.
The 2020 event raised £2,500 for Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity, as well as awarding more than £400 in prize money and other gifts donated by local businesses.
Preparations are well in hand for the launch of Harrogate & District’s Got Talent this Saturday, January 24.
But organisers are still looking for more local businesses to sponsor it.
A spokesperson said: “Last year’s Harrogate & District’s Got Talent did very well and helped children with autism and many other people with mental health issues, as well as raising £2.5k for Harrogate Hospital and Community Charity.
"There will be a £200 first prize to the winner, £100 second place and £50 for third place
“We would love to get more people to sponsor us at £50 per business towards prizes for entrants in the competition.
“During Harrogate & District’s Got Talent’s run, there will also be weekly spot prizes.”
Would-be entrants pay £5 to enter and are requested to upload their talent video and attract as many likes as possible to be in with a chance of winning.
