Readers across the United States and Canada will find a doorway into the world of performance and storytelling through the DK Publishing title You’ve Got Talent. The book invites aspiring singers, dancers, artists, and performers to peek behind the scenes and discover practical steps for turning a skill into a public moment. By blending accessible guidance with real‑world examples, it presents a friendly roadmap for anyone who wants to turn a spark into a stage presence. The Talent Contest, an extension of this program, invites young creators to put their talents on display for a chance to win one of three prize packs from the publisher. Submissions can include a drawing, a poem, a short story, or a video performance, reflecting the many ways talent can express itself. All talents are welcome, from budding illustrators to budding writers and performers, to videographers and multimedia artists. Details follow below, framed to help entrants understand how they can participate and what to expect from the process.
Details for participation are straightforward and designed to be accessible to a wide range of young creators. No purchase is necessary to enter. Entries must include the entrant’s full name, age, a complete mailing address, and a reliable way to contact them. The contest closes on December 31, 2025. Entrants must be 18 years old or younger to enter. Only one entry per person will be accepted. The contest is open to residents of Canada and the United States, with Quebec residents excluded. Submissions will be judged on creativity and originality among all qualifying entries. Winners grant permission for the published listing of their entry along with their city in a winners list. Submissions should be sent through the publisher’s official entry channels; references to email or postal mail are not provided here to protect privacy and simplify participation. This program is presented by DK Publishing and aims to encourage young creators to grow through storytelling, art, and performance.
