Local Talent Search Opportunity

The Galaxy of Stars® Talent Search has an exciting opportunity again this year. Communities that host a local talent search or an organization that would like to start a talent search may apply to the Galaxy of Stars® to advance their local winner(s) to represent their community and to enter the Galaxy of Stars® Talent Search.  The number of winners qualified to advance from each local talent search are subject to the number of local entries in each contest and to a required level of proficiency.  Final determination will be at the discretion of the judges and administration of the local talent search and the Executive Producer of the Galaxy of Stars® Talent Search.  To advance to the Galaxy of Stars® Talent Search  a winner in a local talent search is required to be a Nebraska resident.
