Australia’s Got Talent back on the road
With The X Factor still in midstream, Seven has signalled that it is ready to switch its attention back to Australia’s Got Talent.
The network has issued its call for entries for the next round of the contest with a 16 city trawl.
According to its announcement:
Channel Seven’s hit entertainment program Australia’s Got Talent is back on the road in its biggest talent search ever undertaken. AGT will visit a massive 16 cities, including many in regional Australia, searching for the most unique and talented performers of any age and any skill.
2010 was a phenomenal year for Australia’s Got Talent with winners Justice Crew dancing their way to a $250,000 grand prize, a sold out national tour and an exclusive contract with Sony Entertainment.
Runner up, 42-year-old singer/songwriter Cameron Henderson also charmed the nation together with his son Taylor who came 3rd. They showed it was all in the family on the huge grand final show, which was watched by over 2.2 million Australians. Father and son still sing together and tomorrow will perform at the AFL Grand Final in front of the 90,000 stadium crowd and millions of TV fans across the country.
These are the dreams neither Justice Crew or the Henderson’s could ever have imagined just 6 months ago!
This year the AGT auditions aim to find even more unique, exceptional undiscovered talent,– no matter what it may be!
AGT is looking for solo acts, group performances, singers, dancers, instrumentalists, illusionists, circus and stunt acts, comedians, novelty acts, animal acts, child performers – absolutely anyone doing absolutely anything. Whether amateur, professional or somewhat dubious – the doors are open to everyone!

When you say “Aus got talent”, which art forms are you specifically acknowledging?
User ID not verified.
When you say… “Open to EVERYONE, it appears that the framework has, for all intents and purposes, only to do with performance arts. Is this so, and if so, why so?
Your statement…”AGT is looking for solo acts, group performances, singers, dancers, instrumentalists, illusionists, circus and stunt acts, comedians, novelty acts, animal acts, child performers – absolutely anyone doing absolutely anything. Whether amateur, professional or somewhat dubious – the doors are open to everyone!” seems to define “talent as a notion which can only be framed in “performance” as a guiding or overriding pricipal. Is there a place for talented visual atists in this endeavour , or are visual artists not welcome. If not, why not?
