Vibrant Brampton festival started with a curtain raiser #Vstar Talent Hunt & Mentoring Program for local upcoming artists which was launched back in 2020 in a virtual format. However, we saw a hybrid format this year with first auditions round in a virtual format followed by “In-person” semi-final and final round on July 9 at the Cyril Clark auditorium in Brampton. We received over 100 entries, out of which top 30 performed in the auditions round, finally coming down to 8 talent which emerged as winners. These winners will not only get a much bigger platform to perform with the professional artists on the main stage of Vibrant Brampton festival 2023 but will also be given an opportunity to network with other professional artists and get access to mentors in entrepreneurship and marketing themselves.
