Calling young performers aged 16 to 21

Do you sing, dance, write poetry, perform spoken word, make music or have another talent you're ready to share with an audience?

For the first time, Appetite is launching the Young Creatives Takeover – an opportunity for four young performers to take to the Piccadilly Stage as part of our free outdoor arts festival The Big Feast. We want to celebrate and support emerging talent from Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding area.

Whether you're an experienced performer or this would be your first time on stage, we'd love to hear from you.

Successful applicants will receive:

• A 10-minute performance slot on the Piccadilly Stage during The Big Feast on Saturday 29 August

• A financial contribution to support their participation

• Inclusion on the festival website and in promotional activity
