Contestant Eligibility: Children or adults with developmental disabilities (Regional Center client or student with IEP in the school district – Please include a copy of the front page of your child’s most current IEP or IPP for verification.)

All performances will be video-taped. The parent/individual will be required to sign a photo/video consent form at the time of the audition.
A maximum of 5 minutes will be allotted per act. During Preliminary Auditions, performances will be stopped at 2 minutes. Please note that only the first 70 entries sent in by the January 16, 2016 deadline will be accepted to audition.
