Talent Quest 2025/2026 Carnival 3rd & 4th January 2026

We are excited to announce significant updates to the structure of the Caroline Bay Carnival Talent Quest.  In an effort to create a more inclusive and dynamic competition, we have removed the traditional Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions and introduced a fresh new format based on performance categories: Dance, Singing and Band/Music Performances. 

This change ensures that all participants, regardless of age or group size, have an equal opportunity to showcase their talent and compete for top honors.  The updated format allows for greater diversity in performances, ensuring a more vibrant and engaging event for both contestants and audiences alike.

Key Changes:

  • No Age Restrictions: Performers of all ages are welcome to participate
  • No Group Size Limits: Whether performing solo, in a duo, or as a large ensemble, all are encouraged to join.

 

Three Main Categories:

  • Dance Performances Open to all styles and group sizes
  • Singing with backing tracks only Open to soloists and small vocal groups
  • Live Music (Bands & Soloists) Featuring musicians who play instruments and/or sing live 

By implementing these changes, we hope to foster a more inclusive, competitive, and exciting platform where all performers, regardless of experience or background, have the chance to shine.  We look forward to seeing the incredible talent that will take the stage under this new format!   

Entry Forms will be Available from August.
