A word from our special guest judges
Pauline Daniels
"I’m delighted to have been asked to take part in the judging of this competition. Bringing all our young people together to encourage expression, performance and creative thinking is a powerful and inspirational exercise.
We have an outstanding pool of talent in this region - let’s find some new shining stars! My advice to those taking part comes in the words of Shakespeare: ‘Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.’"
