The winners have been announced from Midtown’s Got Talent, which staged its second annual vocal talent competition at Midtown Plaza in Carmel. Playing out over three weekends and including a variety of age and performance categories, Midtown’s Got Talent continued to grow in participation and audience attraction.
“We established this competition in 2020 because the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions forced the cancellation of CarmelFest’s Got Talent, which was held annually at the July 4th celebration,” said Nancy Heck, Director of Community Relations and Economic Development. “While CarmelFest was back this year, we wanted to continue this competition in the fall to give local talent an additional outlet. It was wonderful to see the number of contestants grow this year. Midtown’s Got Talent is a unique way to let our local talent hone their skills and have the chance to perform in front of a crowd.”
Midtown’s Got Talent applications for 2022 will be taken in the late summer of next year.
