Residents from Assiniboia and area are encouraged to showcase their creative talent in the second annual 鈥淎ssiniboia Has Talent!鈥� Facebook and Instagram contest. The Recreation and Community Wellness department of the Town of Assiniboia will run the social media event from April 1 to 11.
Stephanie VanDeSype, Recreation and Community Wellness Manager, introduced the 鈥淎ssiniboia Has Talent!鈥� contest last year as a way to keep people in the community engaged with one another, while observing social distancing.
Talented people in the region are invited to post videos of themselves lip synching, dancing, performing baking demos, woodworking, or even riding a hoverboard. The potential categories in this contest are boundless.
The participants are invited to be imaginative, original and entertaining in all the videos that are shared on the 鈥淎ssiniboia Has Talent!鈥� Facebook and Instagram pages.
鈥淭here will be a prize of the day for the talent contestants,鈥� VanDeSype promised.聽
鈥淚 dreamt 鈥楢ssiniboia Has Talent!鈥� up myself. I'm trying to find ways to get the community moving, be creative and have some laughs along the way. This is why I'm doing a morning video on my Facebook page as well. I鈥檓 just trying to make people smile,鈥� VanDeSype said.
With a slight nod to the popular America鈥檚 Got Talent series, where contestants of all ages audition their talents in the televised contest, Assiniboia Has Talent! is certain to appeal to the creative and ingenious members of this community.
鈥淎nyone who submits a photo or video that day will be entered in to a random draw,鈥� VanDeSype continued. 鈥淲e are not going to judge any of the entries, as we are simply encouraging people to have some fun and provide some entertainment along the way.鈥�
