Avonmore Fair Children’s Talent Show (Ontario): talent acts for children aged 5 and under and 6 to 9, scored out of 100 on three judging criteria, built from the fair’s own rules and regulations.
A ready-made children’s talent show with two age bands, 5 and under and 6 to 9, each scored out of 100 on three printed criteria, with Talent Presentation carrying half the marks.
This template models the children’s talent show held on a Sunday of a rural fair in Ontario, Canada. Young performers take the stage one at a time, give a short act of their own choosing and are marked by a panel. It is built from the show’s own printed rules and regulations for the 2023 edition, so the age bands and the judging criteria are real, but only that edition was found and the current year’s rules should be checked before reuse.
There is one competition, Talent Show, entered as an individual act in one of two age bands: 5 years and under, and 6 to 9 years, with ages counted as of the show date. The rules print no lowest age, so the template starts the first band at 3 as a placeholder that a coordinator should confirm. The source does not say whether group acts are allowed, so the template treats every entry as a single contestant.
Each band is marked out of 100 on three criteria. For the youngest band they are Overall Appearance 25, Entertainment Value 25 and Talent Presentation 50. For the 6 to 9 band they are Overall Appearance 25, Poise and Personality 25 and Talent Presentation 50. Half of every score therefore rewards the act itself, while the other half rewards how the child looks and comes across on stage.
Each contestant also supplies a short bio that the announcer reads out. Prizes in the source are cash amounts for first, second and third in each band, with proof of date of birth, own music and disqualification for offensive music or actions among the rules. The platform has no field for these, so they belong on the Registration Page as rules and are not enforced by the software. No time limit is printed, so none is set.
Where this event comes from

Where this event is run
Children’s talent shows split by age band are a regular feature of agricultural fairs, county shows, summer festivals and community days across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change this template after installing it?
Yes — installing it creates a fully configured, live event, not a locked package. Every age group, competition item, rule and scoring setting can be edited afterwards to match exactly what your event actually needs.
Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?
No. Installing a template does the setup work for you; you only need to review the details (dates, unit or house names) and open registration.
