I just got this email....so if you know anyone talented under 18 please pass it on.

"Hi there
 
We thought you may want to hear about this opportunity for young acts to perform in front of Royalty at a special West End Gala to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.  They're looking for people under the age of 18 and I'm afraid we don't keep details of age groups on our mailing list, so if you've received this and you're 18 and over ... sorry to have disturbed you!!
 
For those of you that ARE under 18 ... here's the details!!
 
A nationwide search is on to find Britain's most entertaining children to perform for Royalty at a West End gala to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
 
To celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee a search is on for Britain's most entertaining young people aged 17 and under to perform at a famous West End venue in front of Royalty!
 
TV, Theatre and Singing star Jason Donovan will be working with ITV Daybreak, Heart Radio and a host of other organisations to find Britain's most entertaining young people whether they are  singers, dancers, magicians, comedians ... or something else altogether!!
 
To enter the First News Diamond Kids talent search all you need to do is record a short video of your act and upload it on the First News Diamond Kids website.
 
They will be uploading lots of tips and hints to help you to make your perfect audition video.
 
If you are under 14 you will need a parent/guardian/ or teacher to register for you and you will need parental permission before you can upload your video. These videos will only be viewed by the judges.
 
From these videos, a panel of judges, led by First News Diamond Kids champion, Jason Donovan, will select Britain's most entertaining kids to perform at one of six regional First News Diamond Kids shows where a judging panel (including Heart radio DJs) and an audience vote to choose the most entertaining acts.
 
All entries must be submitted by Friday 10 August 2012.
