Huntsville’s Got Talent has been rebranded as Muskoka’s Got Talent to reflect its expansion across the entire Muskoka region.
Jennifer Jerrett, event organizer and Community Engagement Specialist for Community Living Huntsville, said the new name “better reflects the spirit of the event” as it continues to grow and welcome participants from across Muskoka and area.
“At the same time, it remains true to its roots in shining a spotlight on local talent and raising funds for charity,” said Jerret. “At its core, it’s still the same show celebrating the people and spirit that make our communities shine,”
She said, in addition to donating all proceeds to Community Living Huntsville, the event aims to showcase the energy, creativity, and community pride of the entire region, not just one town.
Officials said the funds raised support the not-for-profit organization’s affordable housing initiatives for people with developmental disabilities and families who access its services.
She said they are looking to showcase the energy, creativity, and community pride not just in one town, but across the region.
This year’s event registration opens on Nov. 27, and officials said performers of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate. The top 10 finalists selected by the judges and the public will perform live on stage at the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville on Feb. 26.
According to Jerrett, this year’s event brings several updates, including bigger cash prizes of $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second, and $500 for third, as well as a live People’s Choice vote and a secret judge hidden in the crowd.
