Our region of the Ozarks is overflowing with talent.
Amazing vocalists, dancers, comics and musicians appear regularly on stages, at events, in theaters, restaurants, bars and festivals throughout the Ozarks.
And we know, there’s incredible talent that isn’t very well-known too. There are up-and-comers and less experienced performers who are dedicated and working hard on their skills. They might be young, or they might have had to put their talent on the back-burner, or just decided that their special gifts and talents were going to be a hobby, instead of a career.
Ozarks DynaCom wants to give striving performers, the unknown and the inexperienced their moment in the spotlight. The Ozarks DynaCom FiveStar Talent Contest is the perfect opportunity to dust off the cobwebs, fine tune performance skills, or test new material on a real audience.
Together with our listeners, online fans, and social media friends, we might even discover the next entertainment sensation of the Ozarks, or beyond!
Ozarks DynaCom FiveStar Talent Contest is being implemented in collaboration with the Branson Arts Council and Ozark Arts Council in Harrison, Arkansas, along with our contest sponsors. The Arts councils will receive the ticket proceeds from the live, semi-final shows, and their youth programs will receive funding from the final championship show, as well.
Everyone is welcome to participate. Contestants less than 18-years old will need a legal guardian’s permission.
Everyone in the Ozarks is encouraged to vote online for their favorite talent as well as in-person at the live, semi-final shows in Branson, MO (November 5; click for tickets) and Harrison, AR (November 6; click for tickets). A live Finals Championship show is planned for mid-November at a time and location still to be determined.
Show details and winner prizes will be announced as those items are confirmed.

The second semi-final show will be performed #LiveAtTheLyric on November 6, and tickets are available through The Lyric’s ticketing page, priced at $17 for adults and $14 for students. As this is a regional contest, tickets are not expected to last. Face coverings for disease transmission are no longer required by the state, but no one will object if you still wish to wear one.
Tickets for the first semi-final show, which will be performed at Branson’s historic Owens Theater, are available through the Branson Regional Arts Council’s website.
