Youth Talent Search - Ontario Competition

View Junior & Youth 2006 Talent Search Winners

Winners from 18 preliminary contest areas - La Salle to Barrie - perform for their chance to move on to the possible fame, fortune, and the National Youth Talent Awards....On the Anne Eadie XEROX Park Stage at Western Fair most nights during the fair with semi finals September 13 & 14 and the finals on September 16.

The Western Fair Youth Talent Search is set to launch its 2007 edition. Throughout the summer, young entertainers between the ages of 6 and 21 will perform at preliminary competitions held across Southwestern and Midwestern Ontario, hoping to win a chance to represent their area at the finals to be held at the 2007 Western Fair.  In the senior division, ages 13 to 21, one act will ultimately be chosen to compete at the national championships in Toronto during November.

Since its inception, the “search” has touched the lives of thousands of talented youngsters and entertained tens of thousands of fair and festival patrons at contests held in cities, towns and villages from Barrie to La Salle.    In each area, local media continue to play a vital role in helping to spread the word that the “Search” is coming to town.

Western Fair proudly acknowledges the contribution of our media partners, in particular, Blackburn Radio Inc., for their outstanding support.  Chatham stations CFCO AM630/92.9FM, 94.3 CKSY and The Rock 95.1 and Leamington station 96.7 CHYR help to promote the competitions in Essex, La Salle and Ridgetown.  The Sarnia preliminary contest has tremendous support from Radio 1070 CHOK, The Fox 99.9FM and K106.3.    Contestants representing Clinton, Listowel and Teeswater catch the action on CKNX AM920 or sister stations FM102 and The Bull 94.5.
