Ooredoo Maldives, MV+ and Kuaza Institute teamed up to bring 'Little Buddy Talentz', the world's biggest online talent competition, to Maldives.
The online creative platform invites participants from all parts of the country to show off their skills on a global level, across four categories:
- Drawing
- Dancing
- Singing
- Instrumental Music
To participate, each contestant is to upload two minutes of videos or images, showcasing their talent within their chosen categories.
The contestants are classified into four different age groups:
- A: 2.5 years to 5 years
- B: 6 years to 10 years
- C: 11 years to 13 years
- D: 14 years to 18 years
Their talents will be evaluated by a panel of judges including singer and songwriter Mariyam Unoosha, dancer and performer RoboMan, and artist and painter Soumya Sudheesh.
Following the virtual press meet held on September 30, the founder and director of Little Buddy, Ramya Gangadharan, stated that the competition is entirely student-led, thus allowing participants to take ownership of their chosen activity.
"This allows young people to explore subjects that they might not necessarily experience in the classroom, giving them a broader perspective and helping them to develop an independent approach", she said.
"Little Buddy Talentz provides a spectacular avenue for young talent to showcase their ability to the world and win the World Title. It provides the necessary impetus to excel and reach out for the stars", added Maizar Adam, the Global Partner for Maldives.
Little Buddy Talentz noted that the competition will be expanded to countries across Europe, Africa and more as it progresses.
Participants that make it to the top 16 from each country will receive the opportunity to compete on a global platform, with the chance of being ranked among the world's best four.
