The MPSMF talent competition is open to all talented young people who reside or study on the North Shore of Nassau County. The winner is usually in the age range of 16 to 25, but a younger winner is possible; the age limit is 25 years old. The junior winner age category is 10 to 15. The popular music/song/dance winner age category is 10 to 25. Contestants may be vocalists, instrumentalists or dancers and each is required to perform two contrasting pieces of their own choice. Contestants may perform to taped music or CD, but must bring their own battery-operated CD or cassette player to the audition. A piano is available if needed. Contestants must provide their own accompanist.
Prizes for the competition winners are $1,000 for the winner, $250 for the junior winner and $250 for the pop winner.
