Thanks to everyone who performed and participated this year - it was the best year yet! The wide range of talent and performance made this year a year to remember.

Join us next year at auditions in April for the 29th Annual Stampede Talent Search. Keep an eye on the website in the spring for more information.

The Stampede Talent Search is an annual talent competition held during the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. Performers ranging in ages from 6 to 21 perform almost every night of Stampede in disciplines as varied as singing, dancing, musical theatre, yo-yos and contortionism. Performers over the ages of 13 compete for over $10,000 in prizes as well as a trip to the National Finals.

Past winners of the Stampede Talent Search include international recording artist Paul Brandt, Heather Liscano from the Calgary Flames, and most recently Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, who is performing at the Virgin Music Festival in Calgary in June 21st.
