Every performer who wants to attend our prestigious National Finals in NYC must QUALIFY to attend. There are several ways to QUALIFY. Preliminary Competitions are held throughout the United States by official Talent America Area Directors at various times of the year. International events are held in select countries by Official International Directors. Performers may also qualify thru a video submission as a Contestant at Large or at an Official TA Sanctioned Event. In 2015, there were 338 Call Backs and over 28 Contracts. We are still collecting info from their appearances, bookings and campaigns which range from Broadway, to major films to Seventeen Magazine to Brooklyn Fashion Week to signing with major record labels.
