Aspiring young performers from across the Sunshine Coast are being invited to step into the spotlight.
Auditions are open for Stars alive! 2026: the popular youth talent competition presented by the Noosa Alive! festival.
Open to performers aged eight to 18, the competition provides a unique opportunity for singers, musicians, dancers, bands and variety performers to showcase their talent. The competition has become one of the region’s premier annual platforms for emerging young performers, produced by Noosa alive! festival director Ian Mackellar and hosted by festival CEO and media identity Damien Anthony Avery-Rossi.
Successful performers will progress to finals at the Stars alive! showcase and free community day at Tewantin-Noosa Lions Park on the Noosa River, where they will compete for a share of valuable cash prizes, industry recognition and the opportunity to perform as part of the festival program this year.
Mackellar says the competition continues to uncover extraordinary local talent while providing young performers with invaluable opportunities.
Registrations close at 5pm on Friday, June 26.
