In 2017 COPPERSTONE Event Production & Creative Agency started the Talent Search South Africa competition to not only give upcoming artists a platform to showcase their talent, but also to do good. The purpose of the competition is to assist talented singers with the potential for commercial growth and to break into the music industry.

The contest aims to create artists with a purpose. Contestants must perform various challenges during the run of the competition. From doing charity drives and raising money for various needy organisations, to running their own events and marketing drives, contestants who have never been subjected to the entertainment industry on a big scale, are judged on their abilities to drive their own brands. They receive support throughout the year by numerous successful, established artists in the industry.

This year's competition will feature a brand-new category - a Variety category! On top of finding the country's most talented new vocalist, duo or group, we will also introduce the Variety category. The Variety category is designed for all new and upcoming comedians, magicians, dancers, stunt artist and all-round entertainers. Talent Search SA is not a reality show, it's a competition where we work with and mold new and upcoming talent for a career in the entertainment industry. We have incredible established artists to assist in becoming the best artist you can be. A year of hard work, marketing drives, charity campaigns, performances and eliminations, and master-classes will assist you in making it in a saturated industry.

We are the biggest independent Talent Search competition in the country. On top of getting you ready for your big break in the market, we also offer amazing prizes, holidays, visibility on a national platform and management and publicity contracts.

On Friday 5 April, entries opens for this year's competition. We're looking forward to another EPIC year, finding incredible talent and going on a joyride with all of this year's finalists. ENTER HERE!
