Platform

Your time to shine!

Platform is an event for young people to express their talents in a professional, supportive environment and be in with a chance to win a share of some large cash prizes, allowing them an opportunity to go on and further advance their abilities.

Our categories are Music and Movement. We are looking forward to showcasing the best youth talent in Christchurch in our brand new Black Box Theatre, supported by our professional tech crew and our youth leadership programme Kaiwhakatere.
