About Breeze Has Talent

Breeze has Talent is a talent competition for young people aged between 8 – 18.  We have had some fantastic young people come through the competition.  It has been our privilege to see many of them stretch and develop their talents and move on to stages around the world.   Everyone who has entered has conquered the stage and entertained the crowds.  Breeze has Talent has also become a regular point of call for the organisers of Britain’s Got Talent,  The X Factor  and now The Voice Kids UK who all check out our youtube videos and contact us for our talent tips. 

Our aim is to provide a nurturing environment for those young people who enter the competition. Although there are only three prizes our aim is that everyone who enters to feel like a winner. Throughout the competition our judges are on hand to encourage and guide and, between the judges and the Breeze team, we know where to go in Leeds to find additional support in your chosen art form.  Breeze Has Talent finalist also attend ‘boot camp’ to help polish their performance for the Breeze Has Talent Finals night.

Competitions are a really good way of focusing on your performance but we also offer lots of out of competition performance opportunities at our Breeze on Tour and Mini Breeze events, as well as workshops at Breeze on Tour from Rock School, Street Dance and Music Production - so just join in and have fun.
