How-to guide
How to run a one-day talent competition
Run a talent competition in a single day — at a school, college fest, society or mall: registrations before, one round of judging on the day, and the winner by evening.
Many talent competitions happen in a single day: a school annual day, a fest afternoon, a society’s festival evening or a weekend at a mall. There is no time for weeks of rounds — everyone performs, the judges mark, and the winner is announced the same evening.
MJX Events Talent Hunt handles this with one round. That round is the final: judges mark everyone and you choose the winner.
What makes one day work
Registrations before the day
Close entries a day or two early so you can plan the running order.
A short shortlist
Shortlist only the acts that fit the time you have on stage.
One round, one final
Set rounds to 1. Judges mark everyone; no eliminations in between.
Winner by evening
The average is ready when the last act finishes, so you announce on time.
