Canada, it’s time to show us what you’ve got! In anticipation of the Season 15 premiere of America’s Got Talent, Citytv is hosting an open casting call in search of the most talented troupe with the new contest Canadian Family’s Got Talent presented by Canadian Tire.
Starting today, Citytv is inviting Canadians to showcase their own unique talents alongside their families, closest companions, or support networks from a distance for their chance to win thousands in cash and prizes – all from the comfort of their own living rooms. Select Canadian Family’s Got Talent entries will be featured on the expanded national hour of Breakfast Television starting May 1 and posted for online voting on May 14.
The month-long contest culminates on Tuesday, May 26 when AGT creator Simon Cowell will judge the three finalists live on Breakfast Television Canada, alongside hosts Dina Pugliese and Devo Brown.
“When I heard about this idea, I thought it was brilliant,” said Cowell. “In every country in the world there’s always undiscovered talent, and I’m certain there’s plenty to be found in Canada. I can’t wait. This should be a lot of fun”.
“Now more than ever, family is defined by the support networks around us,” said Laura Reiter, Executive Producer of In-House Productions, Citytv. “In launching the Canadian Family’s Got Talent contest, we are celebrating the talents that both make us unique yet unite us during trying times.”
Canadian Family’s Got Talent entries can be submitted online at breakfasttelevision.ca until May 13. Select contest submissions will be highlighted daily on Breakfast Television Canada from May 1 to 14 and posted online for voting between May 14 to 19. Full contest details available here.
Season 15 of America’s Got Talent is set to premiere this summer in Canada on Citytv and Citytv NOW.
