Talent is everywhere, but the opportunity to showcase your talent effectively, and to the right audience, is rare. Dr Mansoor Al Obeidli is changing the game with his offering of a UAE wide mega event, World Talent Hunt 2023 Dubai, that offers those with performing skills in any area the chance to stand out. Dancers, singers, musicians, gymnast, magicians… the contest is open to all, and promises a golden opportunity for all.
The Grand Finale will be held on 12th March at Children’s City, Al Ajyal Theater and the event will honour outstanding talents with the Young Talent Achievers Award.
The event will also allow contestants to showcase their talent irrespective of ethnicity, nationality, age and gender, creating a level playing field, because, after all, ability does not know borders or background.
The talent hunt will support the UAE Government programme which is mandated to counter and encourage zero tolerance for bullying and promote unity and harmony.
Through this mega event, Dr Mansoor Al Obeidli is optimistic about empowering and enabling creative talents from different walks of life. He is of the firm belief that the time is ripe, especially post the pandemic to host an event of this magnitude and help people explore their potential.
Candidates participating in the event will be segregated into different categories according age. Individuals from the age of 5-20 will be in Category A, whereas individuals above 21 will be placed in Category B. Multiple auditions began in October 2022. Kicking off in Dubai, the World Talent Hunt is slated to come to India next. The jury for the event will comprise prominent personalities from diverse fields. These globally renowned judges aim to lend their personalities and media weight to the event in order to raise a collective voice against bullying.
