Participants are wanted to compete in the second annual 'So You Think Kent Has Talent' show on June 2.

The “So You Think Kent Has Talent” show is looking for participants.

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.

The registration deadline is May 5.

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.

Participants must be Kent residents, Kent School District students or employees within the city of Kent.

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.

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.
