Rules & Prizes

Sure, we have categories for music and dance, but your talent show submission can be ANY talent - that's what the Other Talents category is for - as long as it's family friendly.  If your talent is poetry - let's hear it.  If your talent is making a strange face - let's see it.  All video submissions will be reviewed prior to being accepted and appearing on the site.  We've created a completely separate category for businesses who want to participate.  If you still have a staff available, get them together and show us what you can do.  If your staff is on lockdown, get the most talented person in your crew to make your submission.

Categories

  • Music Solo
  • Music Group
  • Dance Solo
  • Dance Group

The Four Corners area is known for lots of things, but our BEST asset has always been our PEOPLE.  This Online Talent Show will showcase some of YOU – the people of the Four Corners – and the TALENT contained within you.  We may be in lockdown, but we can’t be kept down.  Rise Up – Turn On Your Camera – and SHOW US YOUR TALENT!

This online talent show will be conducted 100% online.  Contestants will submit their entry videos online, those videos will be shown in a live talent show online, viewers will vote for the winners online, and the awards show will take place online.  YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!  This is where you submit your videos, watch the show, vote for your favorites, and watch the awards show wrap-up. 

NOTICE

The Farmington Recreation Center and Sycamore Park Community Center are ALSO hosting a SEPARATE talent show.  After you submit your entry here, be sure to submit your entry to their contest as well – you could win TWICE!  See details on the City of Farmington website here.

O Me!  O Life!

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
 
                                       Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
