[Press Release - The Shields Gazette] Bingo bosses in South Tyneside are launching a search to find the town's most talented residents.
The second Mecca's Got Talent competition launches on Saturday with £5,000 up for grabs plus a year-long contract with a top talent agency.
Chris Robson, club manager of Mecca South Shields in Dean Road, Westoe, said: "We had a great response last year and saw some very talented acts, but we know there are more people out there who deserve their moment in the spotlight.
"We want to hear from anyone who can get on stage and keep an audience entertained.
"We're all really looking forward to the club finals event in May and seeing which of our customers and team members have hidden talents."
The winning club act from Mecca South Shields will receive a pair of tickets to the Britain's Got Talent Live Tour 2025 and be invited to compete in a regional semi-finals event. If they are lucky enough to make it to the semi-finals, they could be one of three acts selected to perform at the regional final in June.
Ten regional winners will then go through to a national final on Saturday, March 16, at a Mecca Bingo club in the Midlands, with TV's Lorraine Kelly as host.
The star said: "I'm really thrilled to be part of Mecca's talent search for the second year in a row. The quality of acts in last year's final was fantastic, so I've got high hopes for this year!"
To enter, fill in a form available from the club from Saturday. All forms must be completed and returned by April 30 2025.
