National Talent Search in the United Kingdom for the next Big Star

Do you have dreams of becoming a star? "Search For a Star: The Battle of The Stores" is conducting a Nationwide UK talent search. If you have a talent for singing, dancing or comedy and work in retail, this is your chance for the big time. You could be a star like former Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon. The nationwide talent search is being supported by the Retail Trust, in association with the Sunday Express, and the biggest names in retail and show business.

The producers are searching for singers, dancers, bands, comedians, variety acts, and other talents to represent your retail store. Individual acts or groups can enter as long as 50 per cent of the act is working in a retail environment or has done so in the past.

As well as performing in front of 1,100 major retailers at the prestigious Retail Trust London Ball at Grosvenor House on January 25, 2010, the four finalists will receive A-list celebrity treatment: a style makeover, perform at the OK! Christmas Party, plus win a selection of fantastic prizes. They will also have a chance to sign on with one of the world's most successful entertainment agencies, CAA, which works with The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent's finalists.

Sir Philip Green, Owner of Arcadia and BHS says, “Retail Trust Search For A Star is going to be a real celebration and I hope that all retailers will join together supporting this campaign to showcase the talent we have in our industry. Judging from what I see on the shop floor, I’m sure there’ll be an abundance of stars willing to take to the stage.”

Story:

About the 1973 Triple Crown-winning racehorse and its owner, Penny Chenery. She was a mother and housewife who knew little about horses when she was pressed to take over her ailing father's horse farm in Virginia. Though Secretariat came along and began to take shape as a potential champion, Chenery was pressured to sell the farm after her father died and she was hit with a multimillion-dollar inheritance tax. She saved both the farm and the horse, and watched as Secretariat became the first thoroughbred to win the Triple Crown in 25 years, taking the Kentucky Derry, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in dominating fashion. Chenery became known as the "first lady of racing."
