Talent Quest
Thursday, August 28th, 2008WorldWideTalentQuest is now live! http://www.wwtq.net
We would like to make you aware of an exciting new site, developed in Australia, and launched worldwide. It is specifically for singers, musicians and has been developed to encourage the pursuit of music in all its forms.
It’s something fun and entertaining that the talent you represent can benefit from, in between gigs.
Jane Rutter, noted and internationally famous Australian flautist, tells this story: “Some time ago, I was asked to help judge a Piano competition, for young people in the Western Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. We were giving out music grants to help young players get a better opportunity through their music. As I approached the stage, one of the contestants, a young girl, was crying, arms folded over the keyboard. I asked her what was wrong. “I’ve never played on a real piano before,” she sobbed, “and this is a grand piano!” Right then I decided I would do everything in my power to help young musicians from all walks of life achieve their musical ambitions.”
Luke Gregory, legendary rock bass guitarist and composer, has a similar story: “Growing up in England, it was obvious that if you wanted to get out, to actually be able to get an opportunity to make it good in music, you either had to be connected, or rich. I got lucky, I got out, and I’ve taken my music with me all around the world. I want to give all those young people who play in their lounges, garages, or pay to play in pubs, the best chance of their music lives to make it big.”
If you have ever seen the look on the face of a young musician when they have “nailed’ a tough cord, hit that high note, or made music out of all those dots and lines, then you know what we mean when we say “Music is the soul of Life.”
Welcome to the WorldWideTalentQuest.
At the lower levels, we encourage musicians and singers to upload an audio file of their performance, then get as many friends and fans as possible to vote for it. In this manner, they can win music grants from $1,000 to $25,000 awarded by popular vote.
At the upper levels, we encourage the more serious musician to upload their performance, and be judged by members of our Professional Panel as well as by popular vote, for Bursaries and Scholarships worth up to $25,000.
Anyone with the slightest bit of musicality in their DNA can play the music game – all they have to do is upload, vote, and win!
