CHARLOTTE, N.C. - May 31 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Winning the Game, LLC, a full service software and Internet marketing company, announces the launch of TheTalentQuest.com, a web site for people who want to be a star, discover a star, or wish to help create a star.

TheTalentQuest.com is a showcase where singers, dancers and comedians compete within their own category for the number one spot.

"Not only was the site created as a place for people to showcase their talent," David Debs, owner of Winning the Game, said, "but it also serves talent scouts, agencies, and independent agents seeking talent of their own. Entertainers will also find a wealth of career resources."

Contestants display their talent through a three to five minute video and receive showcase space for a headshot display and biography. Multiple category entries are allowed with a minimal entrance fee for each category; the first contestants that register will enjoy a special introductory offer.

After the June 30, 2007 entry cutoff, professional industry judges will narrow the field in each category to 25 contestants. Many judges have performed either on Broadway, in film and/or on television.

In mid-July, the top 25 in each category will be announced. Winners will be asked to submit another video as they move to the next round. The public will vote for their favorites and will ultimately decide the top winner in each category.

Only registered members can vote. Registration also provides access to discussion boards, chat rooms and teleseminars.

Voting will take place July 15th through August 15th. Each week, six people will be eliminated until one winner is left in each category. The top winner in each category will be announced no later than September 1st.

This is TheTalentQuest.com's premiere. Contests will be ongoing and a new one will begin every four months; the second one is scheduled to run September through December and continuously thereafter.

"To encourage participation," Debs explained, "people 18 years or older can register to win cash and prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000 when visiting the site. Drawings will be held monthly."
