Glitz and glam were the order of the day recently during the ninth annual International Arts Talent Showcase that was held at Silverstar.
This showcase brings together the best talents that South Africa has to offer and gives them the opportunity to travel to America, where they might be spotted and become international stars.
Talent scouts from 33 and Me Model and Artist Management travelled the whole of South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique to find the best models, actors, singers and dancers. Those chosen were invited to compete in the ninth Annual International Arts Talent showcase.
Hundreds of talented hopefuls participated in front of a panel of international judges on Friday, 27 September and Saturday, 28 September.

In July 2020, the participants who made the cut at the showcase will form part of the South African team who will be attending the International Modelling and Talent Association convention in New York.
