Wiregrass Talent Quest Jr is a non-professional talent competition for children ages 5 to 18 that is also a fundraiser for the center. Contestants participate in one of 4 categories of talent: Dance, Vocal, Instrumental, or Musical Theater. THIS YEAR'S SHOW WILL BE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AT 7 PM IN THE AUDITORIUM OF THE CULTURAL ARTS CENTER!
 Contestants are judged on Stage Presence (professionalism & technical ability); Appearance/Costume (appropriate to the act); and Difficulty of Selection or Act.
Judges are chosen from the southeastern area with expertise in one of the 4 areas of talent and are not associated with the Cultural Arts Center or its Board of Directors. Wiregrass Talent Quest Jr compiles a list each year of students in the performing arts that could be contacted for performances in other settings if parents approve.
