Judging by today's rains, it may not look like it, but summer is upon us, and with the long holidays come many events to keep students occupied.
The Courts Summer Slam Competition is one such event that is sure to capture the attention of youths as rappers, dancers and singers compete for a $1000 cash prize.
The competition will begin next month, but the coordinator is already looking for possible contestants and is holding auditions tomorrow at 10:00 at the Bliss. Joseph Stamp stopped by our studios to tell us more.
Joseph Stamp, Coordinator - Courts Summer Slam Competitions
"It's a competition that puts singing, dancing and raping against each other and so they get to compete for 4 weeks. We try to find out who is the most talented and the most creative. We try to get the schools involve. A lot of the prizes are geared towards helping the students."
"Last year we have a brand new computer to one of the students that won the competition. We go to the schools and try to get them to partner with us because after all its about keeping the students occupied for while they are on summer break."
"We go into the school and ask them to try to send out participants and people for our audience. The show is a really good event for the community and for the youths of Belize. Supports courts morning stage and if you are a performer, come out to the Bliss, it's at 10am tomorrow and show us what you got."
The auditions will last until mid-afternoon.
