Five winners will be chosen by GetScouted.com and flown to New York City on June 8, 2009 to compete in the final grand prize round. The grand prize finalists will perform in front of a celebrity judging panel at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. The panelists will include Broadway star and winner of MTV's Legally Blonde, Search For The Next Elle Woods, Bailey Hanks; singer and actress Kimberley Locke, a former American Idol runner-up; an executive from Sh-K-Boom Records who records the best of Broadway's cast albums; and Diana DeGarmo.

"I know first-hand how difficult it is to get in front of the right people when you're just starting out," said DeGarmo. "Not everyone has the opportunity to land a record deal on a live television talent show. That is what makes GetScouted.com so great because it provides aspiring talent with a clear path to scouts who can help them make their dreams come true."

GetScouted.com is unique because it gives talent across a broad range of categories, including performing arts, fashion, sports, academics and more, a way to connect with scouts who are looking for them in a safe, secure and private online environment.

"We've interviewed thousands of talent and realized there was a need in the marketplace to connect talented people to the countless number of scouts in search of them," said Clarissa Rodriguez, president of GetScouted.com. "Through our private online marketplace we aim to educate talent, provide feedback as they pursue their passion, and help connect them with opportunities."

In addition to the national commercial and meetings with Diana DeGarmo and Richard Jay-Alexander, a $25,000 donation will be made in the winner's name to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS organization to support the Actors' Work Program of the Actors' Fund.
