Three events and travel companies, Chew Events, Sandals Resorts and One Night Only have come together to launch a talent competition in aid of events industry charity ‘Meeting Needs’.
The organisers are calling for people from the events industry who can sing, dance, or have a passion for stand-up comedy to take part. Entrants will audition over late summer and autumn in front of a selection of judges yet to be announced.
Three finalists will be chosen and the winners will perform at the finale during the EVCOM Awards Luncheon in November.
One winner will win a place on the VIP Sandals Resort FAM Trip to the Caribbean in 2019, where they will perform live at the resort. A winner will also perform at the 2019 M&IT Awards Dinner in March 2019.
There is no fee to enter, however money will be raised for Meeting Needs through the competition by a minimum £50 per entry from friends and colleagues.
Matt Curran, director of Chew Events, said: “We are delighted to be part of Events R Talented – a new initiative that not only gives the industry and its employees a chance to shine, but also gives something back to help others.”
Lene Corgan, executive committee member, Meeting Needs, said: “We are thrilled that Events R Talented has chosen to support Meeting Needs. This is a great industry initiative which will showcase some of the very talented people in our industry while supporting projects in the UK and around the world which will help change lives. We cannot wait to see what hidden talents are out there!”
