KAVA’S GOT TALENT!

Show Us Your Talent!

Kava’s Got Talent is the only of it’s kind. A network TV-style talent contest, showcasing the very best of Southwest Florida at the Sound Garden Kava Bar. Every new season, 16 contestants will be judged by 3 unbiased judges every Thursday night for the grand prize of $500.

Rules:

Each performer is required to pay the $20 entry fee and fill out the submission form in order to secure their spot on the lineup. Entries are on a first come-first serve basis. If you do not pay, your spot will be taken by someone who does. Payments will be accepted for the upcoming season all they way up to the Monday before round 1 of that season.

Each contestant will be given a 5 minute/1 song time slot to show our judges what their made of. Each contestant will be scored in 4 separate categories each round; quality of talent, stage presence, originality, and preparedness, for a total of 40 points per each judge. Contestants that make it all the way to the final four will each have 2 separate performance slots for a total of 10 minutes/2 songs.

This contest is for everyone! Professionals, amateurs, and everything in between are all allowed to compete for the grand prize. Any talent that can be showcased within the confines of our space will be accepted for entry.

Each performer is expected to be able to attend every consecutive Thursday night of the competition as we move forward through the rounds. If you do not show up you will be disqualified. If you are late for your performance you will be disqualified.
