Big talent. Big stage. Big moment! We’re thrilled to celebrate our incredible student finalists who are headed to the finals.

About the K12 Talent Showdown

The K12 Talent Showdown invited K12-powered students in grades K–12 to step into the spotlight and share what makes them shine. More than 600 students nationwide submitted video auditions, each hoping to earn a place at the live, in-person finals in Virginia—and a chance to win cash prizes of up to $500.

Students competed in three exciting categories:

• Musical Performances
• Creative Performances
• Variety Acts

From each category and grade band (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12), the top three finalists were selected to perform live on stage this June.

At the final event:

• A panel of judges will award 1st Place in each grade band and category—for a total of 12 winners. Each winner will take home $500.
• One standout performer per grade band will be named the People’s Choice winner based on votes from the public during the live performance—for a total of 4 winners. Each will take home $250.

Reaching the finals is an incredible accomplishment—and these students have truly earned their moment in the spotlight.
