Star Power - Cancelled
Tue, 19 June 2007, 05:13 pmHello everyone
I am very disappointed to have to inform everyone that Star Power has been cancelled.
This is due to the lack of entrants in the competition for this year. We are so very disappointed as we had the support of such amazing groups that would have offered training and workshops and opportunities for the youth of WA.
I must say that when I kept receiving emails asking how people could get the auditions without having to do the training, I started to wonder at the youth of WA.
I want to stress to everyone now that all entrants will be receiving their entry money back in the next week.
( For those narrow minded and petty people who thought that Star Power was trying to rip people off and went to the amazing lengths of having us investigated, well, the investigation found nothing, and you simply made us realise how many people out there don't understand that there really are people who are prepared to work for no financial reward at all in order to help others. The cancellation of the competition has cost us money.)
It seems that the youth of WA are not interested in training and workshops and opportunities . It seems that the youth of WA want to have the rewards without the work. That is a very sad generalisation I know and I am very sorry for the people who did enter. We simply couldn't make it work on those numbers.
I thank everyone at the ITA for their support , I thank the people who were helping us, I thank the entrants and I thank the people who saw this competition for what it was and wanted to do all they could to help. I am sorry that we couldn't make it happen.

I think that many people on
Sat, 23 June 2007, 10:35 pmI think that many people on this site would agree with me when I say:
This was a very difficult event to put together. Anyone who has ever worked on a show knows the difficulties facing you; budgetary, marketing, logistics, and of course, getting a whole bunch of people together to do one thing. This event would have required a considerably larger amount of effort, time and twisting people's arms to get involved. It's extremely sad that such an effort should go to waste, and I sincerely hope that the organisers decide to try again - with success.
