Teen Talent 2026 will be happening on May 2nd, at the Fresno Ministry Center in Fresno, CA. This year, you will have the option to participate through in-person competitions, or virtually, but submitting a video of your entry before the deadline. Just like last year, in order to allow more students to participate in this wonderful event, we have decided to make Teen Talent a hybrid event. Every student will register as normal, and let us know if you plan on attending in person, or if you will submit a digital version of their entry. We will then adjudicate all in-person participants and digital submissions on May 2nd. The top 3 winners of each categories will be notified, posted online, and will receive an invitation to represent California-Nevada at the International Teen Talent Competition held at the General Assembly in Orlando, FL, later this summer..

Another exciting update is those participating in the following categories will now be eligible to win a $3,000 scholarship to Lee University if they win 1st Place. This is in addition to the scholarships that they could win at the International Level as well. The categories are:

Male Vocal Solo, Female Vocal Solo, Electric Keyboard, Piano, Strings Plucked, Strings Bowed, Woodwind, Brass, Percussion (Definite and Indefinite Pitch), Rap Solo, Bible Quiz, Bible Teaching (Children and Youth), Creative Writing (Short Story), Multi-Media (Best of Division), Drama (Solo Pantomime), and Art (Drawing).

As a reminder, Teen Talent is a competition based event, where students can showcase their God-given talents in multiple categories, including male & female vocal solo, choir, art, contemporary worship, creative writing, and so much more! Students are able to compete in multiple categories, but can only submit one performance/piece per category.
