Poets, singers, rappers, dancers and most of all, rising stars wanted! The Apollo Talent Show is open to anyone who wants to show his or her talent. Hosted by the Black Student Culture Association, the Apollo Talent Show is just one of the many events planned for February’s National Black History Month.

This multi-cultural event will be on Feb. 25th. The contestants will be asked to perform at their best in the University Ballroom for various money prizes. The rewards will be as follows: $25 for third place, $50 for second place, $75 for first place and $300 for first place in the finals.

The rules are simple: no profanity, racial slurs or derogatory terms (for a full list of rules visit the Black Student Culture Association Web site). Breaking the rules leads to an automatic disqualification. All acts must audition beforehand. Winners for each category will be announced at the show. The Apollo Talent Show will start at 7 p.m. and promises to have Sacramento State’s finest talents.
