Last week’s heats at Darwin High School, Sanderson Middle School, Palmerston Library and Katherine High School attracted around 50 contestants aged from 10 to 19. One keen singer who was unable to attend the Katherine heat in person, due to local flooding, managed to Skype her performance – a first for Urban Quest!
Urban Quest not only gives locals the chance to display their talents, but it also generates funds for Mission Australia to develop accommodation for homeless young Territorians.
There’s been plenty of local interest in this year’s Urban Quest. The Palmerston heats were covered on Stepping Out With Katie Woolf (a local TV segment), view the video at our Youtube channel, and also by Hot 100 FM's Amanda Pernechele.
The next heats take place this Saturday, 19 March, at Malak Theatre, Palmerston Library and Brown's Mart Theatre at 2pm. Entrants can now register on the day.
Hot 100 FM's Amanda will then join Mark Holden on the semi-finals judging panel on 29 March at Casuarina Square.
All Urban Quest entrants go in the running to win cash, studio recording time, mentoring and iPods.
Ten acts will then experience a workshop with Mark ahead of the big finals night at the Darwin Entertainment Centre on 2 April at 7pm. Deni Hines will perform on the night and also join Amanda and Mark in the judges’ box to choose the NT Urban Quest winner.
