As the countdown to Canada Day begins, we are beyond excited to announce the return of the annual Tri-Cities Got Talent competition! This year we’re going bigger and better with both virtual and live stage contests as part of the Golden Spike Days Festival at Rocky Point Park.
Over the years, we’ve seen extraordinary talents light up our stage, including stars like Nashville Country sensation Madeline Merlo, Grammy recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen, Hollywood sitcom star Daniela Bobadilla, and American Idol standout Tyson Venegas.

Once competitors make it to the finals, the level of talent is high enough that contestants can compete against each other regardless of age. Many times, a younger performer has won the competition.
In the auditions and semi-finals, the contest is divided into age divisions rather than talent categories. Within the age division there will be different types of talent competing against each other. In the finals, contestants compete against each other regardless of age or category.
No. It does not cost anything to enter. But you are required to pay all your own expenses. The Golden Spike Days Society is not responsible for any expenses incurred by contestants.
Email us the details of the changes so that we can re-assess if necessary.
No. But go with your best stuff right from the start!
If your performance is over the time limit you may be disqualified. Practice your times.
You can perform any song you wish: original, cover songs or songs in another language. Keep in mind that song selection is very important. When choosing a Song to perform, make sure it suits your style and make sure you are comfortable performing it. Pop, rock, country, rap or jazz - it doesn't matter as long as you feel confident performing it.
Note that profanity or racist lyrics are NOT permitted.
Limited harmonies or utterances may be used on back-up music. The judges must be able to clearly hear the vocal performer over the backing track and any utterances.
Vocals, harmonies and utterances cannot be removed completely from a recording. You will have to use Karaoke versions or instrumental versions. Alternatively, you could use a live accompanist. A music device that you have tested or any device with an output jack (e.g. iPod, Android phone or iPhone) may also be used. Please turn all phones to airplane mode prior to the competition. The performance of the band or soloists must be predominantly live.
