Top prizes including 50-inch smart TV announced for Antigua\u2019s Got Talent winners  <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The winner of next month\u2019s highly anticipated Antigua\u2019s Got Talent show will walk away with a brand new 50-inch smart TV, courtesy of headline sponsor Townhouse Megastore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third edition of the popular competition, which aims to raise vital funds for the PAAWS animal shelter, is now less than four weeks away.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More than a dozen entrants have signed up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are still places left and we want to encourage anyone with a talent \u2013 whether it\u2019s singing, dancing, spoken word or something totally unexpected \u2013 to come forward and register,\u201d said PAAWS\u2019 PRO Gemma Handy.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely grateful to Townhouse for being our headline sponsor this year. The lucky winner will walk away with a fabulous new TV, just in time for Christmas. We also have exceptional prizes for the runners-up, plus a host of luxurious items to be won with our raffle which is being drawn on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery cent raised will go directly to the PAAWS shelter in Parham which is currently caring for 58 dogs and 28 cats, all looking for a permanent home.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe shelter runs entirely on donations and all the money we collect will help us help more animals in need of a second chance at life.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Edward Mansoor, Townhouse Megastore\u2019s General Manager, said the company had a long history of supporting local animal charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnimals are an integral part of our society and it\u2019s important we do all we can to help them. Too often, people see an animal suffering on the road and don\u2019t recognise it as being a life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are honoured to support the talent show and we fully endorse the work PAAWS is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contest is open to all non-professional performers aged 16 and over, who will get the chance to showcase their talent in a spectacular venue complete with professional stage, lighting and PA system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is once again being hosted by Ibis the Livest and entrants will perform before a live audience and panel of celebrity judges who will be revealed within the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 Antigua\u2019s Got Talent crown was claimed by soca singer Stephen Gore who will open the show and hand over the title. The inaugural edition \u2013 held in 2019 \u2013 was won by young singer Ajanae Bleau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show starts 8pm sharp. Entrance is EC$20 for adults, children free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
