The results are in, and we are SO excited to announce the winners of the Young Talent Expo 2026 Stage Competition!

But before we announce our winners, we first have to say an incredibly heartfelt THANK YOU!

Thank you to every single performer who took the time to rehearse, record and submit their performance. We know how much time, effort and dedication goes into preparing a piece, and we are so grateful that so many of you chose to share your talents with us.

There is something truly special about seeing young performers put themselves out there, share their creativity and support one another. Watching so many fantastic videos being shared, discovering new talent and seeing performers connect through their love of the arts is the most beautiful part of all!

Every year, our Stage Competition gives young performers the chance to showcase their talents for an incredible panel of industry judges, with the opportunity to be selected to perform LIVE on stage at Young Talent Expo.

And WOW, what an incredible year of entries we've had!

From powerful monologues to fantastic musical performances, we have been absolutely blown away by the talent, creativity and passion showcased throughout this year's competition.

And let us just be clear: our judges certainly had their work cut out for them! With so many outstanding submissions, selecting our winners was no easy task. The standard of performances was incredibly high, and we want to congratulate every single person who took part.

MEET OUR 2026 STAGE COMPETITION WINNERS!

Each of our winners brings something unique, and we know they are going to make this year's live stage performances something truly special.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!

Whilst we are incredibly excited to celebrate our winners, we also want to take a moment to recognise something we think is just as important: the courage and creativity of every young performer who put themselves out there.

One of our favourite things about the Stage Competition is seeing so many young people sharing their work, expressing themselves creatively and connecting with others who share their passion for performing.

There's something really special about seeing social media filled with young talent, from performers sharing pieces they've worked so hard on to others discovering, encouraging and celebrating each other's performances.

Putting your work out into the world can feel daunting, but it is also such an important part of growing as a performer. Every video shared is an opportunity to gain confidence, celebrate your progress and connect with a wider creative community.

Whether you were selected as a winner or not, we hope you feel incredibly proud of what you've achieved. Your talent, enthusiasm and willingness to share your work are exactly what Young Talent Expo is all about.

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our wonderful panel of judges, Verity Naughton, Emine Yalchin and Michelle Cavanagh, for generously giving their time and expertise to review this year's entries and select our winners.
