About the Competition

The K12 Talent Showdown invited K12-powered students in grades K–12 from across the nation to share their talents in one of three categories:

  • Musical Performances 
  • Creative Performances 
  • Variety Acts 

Students first submitted video auditions before advancing through multiple rounds of competition. Finalists then performed live in a virtual finale before a panel of judges, who evaluated each performance based on creativity, skill, stage presence, and overall entertainment value.
