VIU's Got Talent
VIU’s Got Talent is an annual event held at Vancouver Island University where students and faculty can display their talents. Students will audition and selected contestants will be invited to compete on the VIU’s Got Talent stage. You can audition by sending in video clips of your talents, and selected contestants will be invited to compete in the finals. During the finals, contestants will have 8 to 10 minutes to perform their talent in front of a panel of judges and a live audience. The judges will then select the top three performances as winners of the top prizes.
