- Every performer will have the opportunity to gather votes from the date of selection up to the date of the talent show!
- Performers should host events/fundraise leading up the talent show to help them win Audience Favorite! Don't worry, we will help provide guidance on how to do this and just remember, every dollar raised will help benefit The Cottage directly!
- Voting will continue at the talent show up until the final act.
