Event Details:
Calling SINGERS, ACTORS, DANCERS and MODELS – Don’t miss this huge opportunity to make it big – applications are now open for the 2019 Summer Heat Model & Talent Search.
Summer Heat Model & Talent Search, proudly celebrating its 10th birthday this year, promises to be even bigger and better than previous years. In 2019 we are hosting 20 auditions around South Africa and launching auditions in various neighbouring countries, searching for the most promising talent Southern Africa has to offer.
At the Summer Heat auditions, contestants are encouraged to take part in as many of the categories available as possible (doing more than one category is always a bonus) – categories include Singing, Modelling, Acting, Dancing, Duet and Group performances. The selection panel will be looking for the most passionate, talented and/or promising contestants in each category to invite to the Summer Heat Southern Africa Awards at the end of the year
Summer Heat auditions in Gauteng with Pretoria scheduled for Saturday 16 February. Auditions at this venue in 2017 produced three Summer Heat National Titleholders – Summer Heat Singer 2017 – Crystal Honey; Female Face of Summer Heat 2017 – Thatohatsi Mononyane; Summer Heat Star of the Show 2017 – Ronatan Botha. While auditions in 2018 produced 3 more, Male Face of Summer Heat 2018 – Thapelo Leballo; Female Face of Summer Heat 2018 – Chantelle Ngobeni as well as multiple titleholder Summer Heat Female Model, Singer & Actress 2018 – Virtuous Kandemiri, who was also selected as Star of the Show 2018.
Each contestant who is selected as a finalist for Summer Heat Model & Talent Search is invited to attend the 5 day Summer Heat Southern Africa Awards, where they will meet up with and work with contestants from around Southern Africa. During this time, the finalists participate in workshops, photo shoots, teambuilding exercises and loads of fun. By the end of the awards week, finalists all feel that they have gained a family and all of them want to enter again the following year to be part of the fun again. Attending this Awards event is unarguably a life changing experience!
Apart from the opportunity of being selected for the Summer Heat Southern Africa Awards, Summer Heat is also the perfect launching pad to kickstart a supportive network in the performing arts industry – as so many have done in the past and can also act as the platform to help you to follow your dream. Summer Heat has been lauded as the safest platform in South Africa from which to launch a national and international career. It is frequently complimented on their modern, loving approach to dealing with the talented youth of South Africa, while maintaining a proudly international standard.
Every finalist seen performing at the Summer Heat Southern Africa Awards and who show promise, also stands the chance to be invited to attend the iconic iPOP! Convention in Los Angeles.
“We are extremely excited to see the talent that South Africa has to offer at our 10th annual”.
Summer Heat Model & Talent Search auditions,” said Gillian Habib, founder and Managing Director of Summer Heat. “Each year the talent blows us away and we are sure that this year will be no different. We can’t wait to add more people to our ever-expanding Summer Heat family.” Apart from providing an incredible opportunity for models, singers, actors and dancers to reveal their talents to the nation, Summer Heat Model & Talent Search gives competitors the opportunity to make it on the local and international stage. At the Summer Heat Southern Africa Awards, scouts for the GoTalent! Performing Arts Talent Showcase will be present to assess the contestants for an invitation to represent South Africa at iPOP in Los Angeles.
Gillian loves boasting about her Summer Heat family, many of whom have carved out careers within the performance industry or found success —both locally and internationally —in the music, television and film industries. “We have opened so many doors for our talented youngsters who are already following their dreams.” Habib explains. “Summer Heat family members have released their own CDs; received scholarships for major international schools; appeared on television, in films and music videos both locally and internationally; featured on billboards and in magazines. One of our younger family members from Cape Town landed a feature role in a major movie starring Ethan Hunt. Loads of our Summer Heat models have walked the runway at SA Fashion Week, and some have also been seen at New York Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and appeared on international F-TV. Last year, a previous titleholder, who now lives and works as a TV presenter in Los Angeles, was seen interviewing celebrities on the Red Carpet at the Golden Globe awards after party; and another, who lives in Hollywood has had a movie that she wrote, directed and acted in, submitted for various international film festivals.
Summer Heat calls the most passionate, talented and promising contestants to apply – singers; actors; dancers; male, female and curvy models; groups or duets of all ages are encouraged to send in an application to join the #SummerHeatFamily. There are no age limitations for any of the singing, dancing or acting categories and there is no height or other restrictions for models either, as Summer Heat is looking for male & female models in all spheres.
