WHO: Any California kid aged 15 and younger is invited to participate. Singers and dancers preferred, though other talents will be accepted as well. The top finalists from the auditions will be asked to compete live at the California State Fair in August. The top three finalists in August will share a prize pot that includes cash, prizes and the official title of “State Fair’s Most Talented Kid.”
