#HopesGotTalent

Welcome to Hope’s Got Talent (HGT)!

HGT is an online talent show benefiting Fourth & Hope!*

HGT’s competition is open to anyone (yes, including your pets). Contestants are asked to showcase their “talent” in a one-minute video and post it to their Facebook and/or Instagram page. Here’s the fun part, you get to challenge your family, friends, classmates, co-workers, or even your long-standing rival to compete!

HGT is not limited to individuals, in fact, we invite groups to get in on the fun! Friendly competition between schools, companies (departments within a company), church groups, well you get the picture, are highly encouraged.

You may be wondering how your talent is judged. Well, we can assure you, Simon will not be a judge. The video that receives the most social media likes WINS. Win what you ask? OK, it’s not a million dollars or a show in Vegas, BUT it is a $100 gift card, thanks to one of our donors!

Here’s the best part… HGT will run throughout the year and we’ll announce a winner per quarter! The next winning video will be selected on January 7, 2022!
