Teen Talent Competition

P.O.E.T. (People of Extraordinary Talent) /JEM Productions is a non-for profit organization. Our mission statement is to touch one heart and one mind at a time. We are networking with local schools to host what we call the P.O.E.T. Teen Idol. We believe this will help encourage the youth to improve their writing skills and develop effective public speaking skills while showcasing their talent. Our motto is I am artistic truth, freedom of expression, creativity and life. I am a P.O.E.T. This competition will be run just like the reality show "American Idol". This consists of two stages: ~ Workshop/ Sound check April 14 at the Redemption Theater ~ Competition Sunday April 17, 2011 The students will be competing for the title “P.O.E.T. Teen Idol” as well as an opportunity to open up for Blaq Ice Productions / P.O.E.T. Spoken word concert “Heirs to the Throne” to be held on Saturday November 18, 2011 . The competition will be held on April 17, 2011, closing out our Teen Workshop Weekend at the Redemption Theater. P.O.E.T. will provide the judges and staff for both stages.
