Still at Home Talent Show - Holiday Edition

Winner’s Circle Announced! Head to the Hult Center Blog for a rundown on all the prize winners and a recap video!

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who has entered! The entry window is now closed and we are reviewing your incredible submissions! We’ll be announcing the official finalists and their prizes on Thursday, December 17 at 12:00 pm via email and Hult Center social media accounts including Facebook and YouTube.

 

Earlier this year we did our best to combat the global bummer affecting us all by doing a little talent show from our homes to celebrate all the incredible talent and creativity in our community. The results were, to say the least, immense. In a matter of weeks, we accumulated hundreds of entries across a wide arrange of genres, which culminated in a “People’s Choice” vote-off that saw over three thousand votes from the public.

Well, things have taken a little longer to get back to normal than we’d all hoped, so we’ve been thinking about how we find a way to get a little closer while being so far apart. The holidays are a time we spend with loved ones to celebrate amazing traditions. We’re not willing to just put everything on hold this season and neither should you.

That’s why we’re dusting off the virtual stage for another giant virtual hug and announcing a special one-off Holiday throwdown with the Still at Home Talent Show – Holiday Edition! Because, why shouldn’t we have a few GOOD reasons to never forget this holiday season.

The Categories

This festive throwdown will have a smaller scope and we’ll be on the lookout for entries in the following categories:

  • 2020 Holiday Card: We want you to make some bellies turn to jelly with a display of design, humor and holiday spirit. This has been a doozy of a year and we’ll be looking for a winner that can bring a smile to our faces so advise you keep those snowballs above the belt – so all can enjoy. This can be a card design, animation, short video, or poem.
  • Holiday Dance/Movement/Choreography: Got moves that would warm any weary soul? Show us your style and movement in a way that celebrates the season and spirit of the holidays.
  • Original Song or Instrumental: Not satisfied with the current holiday music on offer and think you have something special that would cure any Grinch in a cinch? Give us the gift of a new classic.
  • Classic Reinterpretation: Dig the O.G. but know you could make a classic shine in a whole new way? Does Jingle Bells need some trap drums, or Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree need to go to 11?

Age Groups: Each category will have two age groups, 13 and under, and then 14 and over for everyone else. Make sure to tag which age group you are entering on the entry form.

What’s in it for you? Asides from the never-ending reward of being part of a most excellent community – we’re working with a bunch of local businesses and partners to create a snazzy loot-pile of prizes. We’ll be sharing details on all you can win throughout the entry window. On top of that we’ll be finding ways to feature artists with performance opportunities, tons of online exposure, content creation and more!
