Canada’s Rising Stars is searching coast to coast for the nation’s most extraordinary talents: singers, dancers, musicians, and variety performers. Whether you’ve been practicing in your bedroom or performing on local stages, this is the launchpad you’ve been waiting for.

Why Season 3 is Bigger Than Ever

Formerly known to our long-time fans as Synergy Music Rising Star, we have evolved. Now in our third season as Canada’s Rising Stars, we’ve expanded our stage, upgraded our grand prizes, and partnered with top-tier industry professionals to deliver unmatched mentorship and national exposure. We aren’t just looking for a performance; we are looking for the next generation of Canadian icons.

Your Journey in 3 Simple Steps

No complicated industry politics. No barriers to entry. Just pure talent. Here is how you go from your living room to the national stage:

1. Record & Submit: Record a simple, unedited 4-minute, 30-second video of your performance. Upload it to YouTube or Google Drive, fill out our quick online registration form, and submit. No professional studio setup required—we want to see your raw, authentic talent.

2. The Producer Callbacks: Our expert panel of industry judges reviews every single submission. Selected acts will be invited to attend our exclusive, high-energy regional live callbacks.

3. The Live Grand Finale: Take the stage in front of a packed, live theatre audience, perform under professional production lighting, and show our celebrity judging panel what you’re made of.
