June 21, 2012 - On Sunday, August 12, 2012, mindyourmind will join the world in celebrating International Youth Day by showcasing the creative talents of youth within our community. International Youth Day calls upon communities to engage youth in ways that are both unique and meaningful. To that end, mindyourmind is proud to announce that they will host their 3rd Annual International Youth Day Mash Up!Submit a video of your talent to be entered into an online competition and have a chance to move on to either a Live Performance or International Category to compete for cash and prizes. Five finalists will be selected to perform live in London, Ontario, Canada on the day of the event. One additional International entry will also be recognized virtually at the event for those who can’t attend.“Last year’s event was so great and had such a powerful energy... youth performing and showing their unique talents, seeing their hard work pay off by being cheered on by other young people. If this is what we can do together in one evening, imagine what we can do over the rest of our lives.” said Max Specht, mindyourmind's Youth Outreach Assistant.All talents welcome from individuals or groups!
