The Stampede Talent Search is an annual talent competition held during the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. Performers ranging in ages from 6 to 21 perform almost every night of Stampede in disciplines as varied as singing, dancing, musical theatre, yo-yos and contortionism. Performers over the ages of 13 compete for over $10,000 in prizes as well as a trip to the National Finals.
Past winners of the Stampede Talent Search include international recording artist Paul Brandt, Heather Liscano from the Calgary Flames, and most recently Michael Bernard Fitzgerald and beatbox sensation James McInnes.
