About the BPS Has Got Talent
For 20 years, the BEF has celebrated and supported Birmingham Public Schools at The Unabashed Bash, a gala fundraiser and auction. This year, due to COVID, we have had to rethink how we will bring our community together to accomplish these same goals: celebrate and support our schools. From this goal, the idea of BPS Has Got Talent was born.
This year, rather than gathering together to celebrate in person, we're inviting you, the students and staff of BPS to submit a video showing off your hidden talents! From there, a panel of judges will review your submissions, and on Thursday, February 4 at 7:00 PM, the "final show" will air! Everyone will have the chance to vote for their favorite videos, and the winner will be awarded not only a prize for themselves, but also a grant for their school. There will also be and award "teachers choice" and one for "most unique".
Full details on submitting an entry can be viewed here. Questions regarding submissions should be sent to BPSHasGotTalent@gmail.com.
