The Stars of Tomorrow competition offers hopeful performers ages 13-19 the experience, exposure and opportunity to pursue their dreams as the next emerging star, all in the name of charity!

“We are absolutely thrilled to feature Stars of Tomorrow again this year!” said Variety of Georgia Executive DirectorChase Evangeline Andrews. “Not only does the competition set the stage for Georgia’s youth to showcase their talents, but it also provides them with invaluable guidance and access to talent professionals who can help them follow their dreams. Best of all, Stars of Tomorrow benefits various charity programs, so it’s a win-win for everyone!”
