Kids’ Talent Quest Competition helps to fund essential Medical Research

27th July 2009

Big Lottery Fund Back to main news

After being inspired by our current obsession with talent shows, Bizzykidz’ Child Model Agency owner and entrepreneur Debi Clark has launched ‘Kidz Talent Quest’. The Quest, which is to search for talented singers, actors, dancers and models aged 5 to 17 years-old, will also be raising essential life-saving funds for Kidney Research UK along the way.

Debi decided to use this opportunity to contribute part of the registration fee to Kidney Research UK because one of her young nine-year-old models actually suffers from kidney disease and there are also over three million people in the UK today who are under threat from Chronic Kidney Disease.

Kidney Research UK raises awareness about kidney disease and also funds essential research to try to find a cure and help comfort the 7,000 people* currently waiting for a kidney transplant.

After local heats in Manchester, Sittingbourne, Royston and London, the ‘Grand Final’ will be held in the Circus Tavern at Lakeside in Essex, where the judging panel will consist of casting directors, agents, Bizzykidz clients and photographers - and also a special guest appearance promise from Ashley from Britain’s Got Talent fame Diversity and Cheryl Baker from Bucks Fizz.

The main prizes will include being a radio presenter/co-host (for acting category), a gig for the night (for singing category), a media photoshoot (for modelling category) and theatre tickets, meal and chauffeur (for dancing category). Plus, all registrations will be entered into a prize draw for a weekend break on a yacht in Marbella (drawn before the heats start).

To register, please visit www.bizzyeventz.com - terms and conditions will also be listed.

Doors will open at 9am and judging will start at 10am prompt.
