ABOUT THE TALENT SHOWCASE

Talent shows are a staple in the culture for Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba. Many aspiring singers travel the talent show circuit to compete for cash prizes and to be recognized by music industry professionals. These events are also an opportunity for undiscovered singers to perform for an online audience including Indigenous Elders, industry leaders, and youth. Unfortunately, with the reality of COVID-19, many talent showcases have been cancelled.

Presented through the Indigenous Music Development Program, Manitoba Music is now opening submissions for an online talent search, Iskwewak Nikamowak, in celebration of International Women’s Day. Singers will be chosen to be judged by a selection committee of industry professionals.
finalists will have their videos air in a mini production that will air on the Indigenous Music Facebook page on March 8, 2021 after the Iskwewak Nikamowak virtual concert: www.facebook.com/events/896852631131026/

The top five singers will receive a cash prize and a free one-year membership to Manitoba Music along with a music career consultation with the Indigenous Music Development Coordinator.

This project is made possible by the support of FACTOR and Canada’s private radio broadcasters.
