SPOTLIGHT ON AMATEURS
de 1ZB’s Talent Quest *
SPOTLIGHT ON AMATEURS, a new 1ZB Talent Quest, is notable for the prize-money offered. In each of the three groups (straight vocal, popular vocal, and instrumental and novelty) the first prize will be 50 guineas, second prize 20 guineas, and third prize 5 guineas. A total of 225 guineas will thus be shared among the winners. Apart from this, the winner in the "heats" will receive 1 guinea. To ensure strict amateur status, the quest is closed to professional musicians, including music teachers, and professional entertainers. As a preliminary, to each broadcast the contestants will be given an audition by a committee and those selected will be heard on the air. This programme will be conducted by Hilton Porter, 1ZB announcer; the ac-. companists will be "Thea" and Eric Bell. There will be a special "rhythm" accompanist. "Spotlight on Amateurs" is heard between 8.30 and 9 o'clock each Tuesday and Thursday evening. On Sunday evenings at 7.30 there will be a special programme in which contestants who have been. successful during the week will be heard. % 7
