The contest is organised by Wandsworth Council’s arts and youth services teams, along with creative youth agency Industry In The Streets (IITS). Organisers are hoping to discover a wealth of hidden talent, including dancers, singers MCs, poets, musicians, beatboxers and comedians. Solo and group acts are welcome to take part.

The winner will be selected by a panel of industry judges at the final, which will take place at Wandsworth’s Civic Suite on Sunday, February 23, 2014. Prizes will be presented by the Mayor of Wandsworth and will consist of development packages including studio sessions.
