The “So You Think Kent Has Talent” show is looking for participants.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The second-annual event is set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 2 at the Kent-Meridian High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The registration deadline is May 5.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Organizers are looking for people to compete in the contest as well as sponsors for the show. The event raised more than $3,000 last year for Kent Youth and Family Services. Proceeds will benefit the same agency again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Participants must be Kent residents, Kent School District students or employees within the city of Kent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The categories include Youth (ages 12 and younger), Teen (ages 13-19) and Adult (ages 20 and older). Cash prizes are awarded, including $1,000 to the overall winner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A preliminary contest May 12 at the Allegro Performing Arts Academy in Kent will determine which competitors advance to the June 2 show. Judges will be leaders and supporters of the arts community.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
