Jersey Talent Returns in 2026!
Central New Jersey's community talent show for ages 8-25 returns in 2026! Jersey Talent provides a platform for youth to express themselves through art in a safe environment before a big, supportive audience at the historic State Theatre New Jersey. Video audition submissions are NOW OPEN!
Performers between the AGES OF 8-25 can apply by completing our online form with a video link (no longer than 2 minutes) of their talent. All performances are welcome, and no previous experience is necessary to apply. We want to see all the talent New Jersey has to offer!
Applications close on February 20 at 11:59pm. Those selected for live callback auditions will be contacted by Feb. 25. Following the video submissions, 25 performers will be asked to attend the live callback auditions. Performances can be solo or in a group (no larger than 4 people). No live animals or pyrotechnics. No professional businesses. Participants under the age of 18 require the approval of a parent/guardian. Only 1 entry per person/group. Top finalists from 2025 are not eligible to audition again until 2027. You MUST be available all day on Saturday, March 21 for callbacks and on Saturday, May 16 for the show date, to apply.
