Black Student Association is now accepting acts to perform in the sixth annual OCU’s Got Talent competition.
OCU’s Got Talent takes place at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20 in the Great Hall in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center. Tickets cost $2.
BSA is looking for 15-20 four-minute acts to perform this year.
The first place winner takes home a check for $200. The second place winner receives $100, and third place wins $50.
Three BSA alums will judge the competition based on originality, crowd participation, interest, and overall opinion. The act with the highest average of these categories wins the competition.
There also will be an award for the people’s choice winner. Audience members can pay $1 to cast their vote for their favorite act.
Miss Black OCU Abigail Knight will host the competition.
Past talent shows have featured singers, contortionists, instrumentalists, rappers, and poetry readings.
Danielle Peterson, music theater sophomore; Alexa de Jesus, dance performance sophomore; and Ali Wojcikiewicz, American dance teacher junior won last year with an a cappella performance of Alisha Keys’ Girl on Fire.
BSA President Sharrone Berry-Davis said he looks forward to the event every year.
“It shows how diverse the school is, no matter what major or what background you’re from,” Berry-Davis said.
Ezekiel Gentle, instrumental performance junior, competed in the talent show last year.
“It brings multiple cultures together,” Gentle said. “It’s pretty dynamic.”
