Canberra CC in association with Pravasi Express held PE Talent Hunt 2015 on 25th January 2015. This event was held at Canberra CC and was supported by Canberra CC IAEC. The event inaugurated by Mdm Deivanai D/O Palani Anandan,(Chairperson of Canberra CC Indian Activity Executive Committee) and Chief guest of the event was Mdm Kalyani Vara, PBM (Canberra CC CCMC Chairperson)

The purpose of the event was to Identify Talent and at the same time integrate the Indian Diaspora through a common platform of Art and Culture.

Besides the Indian community this event was open to all races and we also saw performance from the other communities within Singapore.

The event was broken down into two categories of music and dance. Competition was further sub-divided within these categories to identify talent within two different age divisions of Junior age group (<14) years old and senior age group (15 and above).

Competitors had a choice to perform between various genres (classical & non-classical for music and classical, folk or cinematic for dance).

There was also a coloring and painting competition in the sidelines for children below the age of 10. The theme of the competition was SG50, to celebrate Singapore's 50 years of independent achievements.

The event was judged by prominent judges from India and Singapore. State award winner and leading Kannada playback singer Shri. Ramesh Chandra from India was leading the jury for music competition and  supported by playback singer Ms.Sangeeta Madhav. 

In  dance competition streams, Actor & Dancer Mythili Roy and Dancer & Film maker Ms Shanta Ratii  were heading the jury; and supported by Dancer & Choreographer Ms.Sampada Tayal and Dancer & Teacher Ms.Sujatha.
