The preliminary qualifications will narrow the contestants down to five acts per age division. The 15 finalists will perform at the May 21 showcase and will compete for the Grand Prize amount of $1,000. Other cash prizes are as follows: First place in each age division earns $500, second place $250 and third place $100.
The winners also will perform at Kent’s Fourth of July Splash at Lake Meridian Park and at Kent Cornucopia Days as well as the Kent Cornucopia parade.
Proceeds from the show will benefit Kent Youth and Family Services.
