Free-runners, rappers, street dancers, singers and DJs will fight it out on stage to be named the best act in south Bradford.

The talent contest is being held at Buttershaw Youth Centre today from 6pm to 9pm.

Youth work manager Pete Sims said: “This is a great platform for young people to show their hidden creative talents.

“It’s also an important way in which young people can develop confidence and self-esteem as well as provide positive role models and inspiration to other young people.”

Councillor Ralph Berry, Bradford Council’s executive member for children’s services, said: “So many young people have talents or skills that are often hidden. It’s great that they have the opportunity and support to showcase them.”
