For those who enjoy performing on stage while helping a good cause, Cayman’s Got Talent may be just what you’re looking for. The new talent show, organised by Nolly Brown Entertainment in association with the Cayman Islands Diabetic Association, will host a series of preliminary rounds in September with the final set for mid October. Anyone age 9 or older is eligible
to enter.
Contestants can sing, dance, do a skill or perform any type of performing art.
Event organiser Noel Smith explained that the idea of setting up the talent show with four heats followed by a pre-final and a final came to him after his recent experiences with type two diabetes.
The theme of this first annual Cayman’s got Talent is Diabetics for People in Need, and the events will raise money to set up a fund to help diabetics buy vital medical supplies like insulin pumps, glucose meters and testing strips.
Sylvia Perry, president of the CI Diabetes Association, said that her organisation would administer the fund. “We are a non-profit organisation which was formed 33 years ago and are members of the International Diabetes Federation.”
“We’re hoping that the public will really warm to this show and support it by attending the district heats before buying tickets for the pre-final and the final” said Mr Smith.
The winner of Cayman’s Got Talent will receive a cash prize of several thousand dollars said the organiser, who added that the exact amount will be announced later.
