Get in tune, because this is the chance of a lifetime.
The Soloist, a talent competition which searches for the finest singers, dancers and musicians in Ireland, is back for its third year.
The competition, which is sponsored by HMV, provides talent between the ages of 12 and 30 amazing performance opportunities.
The winners get the chance to perform with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland (CBOI) to over 40,000 people nationwide in some of Ireland’s most iconic venues, including the RDS in Dublin and the Odyssey Arena in Belfast.
They will also receive a €1,000 cash prize.

The registration fee is just €20, with entrants required to upload a video clip of themselves showcasing their talent.
The closing date for entries is Friday 22nd July, and you can apply at www.thesoloist.ie.
The lucky finalists will then be invited to perform live for a panel of judges on Sunday 14th August, at the Freemasons’ Hall, Dublin.
