MORE than 40 undiscovered stars will be battling it out on Saturday for the Grand Finals of Talentcall 2011.

The lucky contestants will face a panel of celebrity guest judges and a 1,000-strong audience in a nail-biting finale at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.

There are 22 diverse acts in both the junior and senior categories competing for a first prize of £2,000 and the coveted title of ‘Talentcall 2011 Overall Winner’.

The Talentcall team have sat through almost 1,000 auditions, 14 live heats and six semi-finals to find the very best talent from the South coast.

In four years, Talentcall has become the biggest and most prestigious competition of its kind in the South, seeing hundreds of local talented individuals excelling themselves on the finest stages that Bournemouth has to offer.

Organisers John Lory, Keira McGuire and Nathan Flutter say they are working all out to make this year’s Junior and Senior Finals even more thrilling.

John said: “The tension will be electrifying, so if you like the X-Factor you’ll love this. It’s live and it’s local.”
