Organized by Fairchild Radio, the 2024 Little Sunshine Talent Search was held at Aberdeen Centre on Saturday, Nov. 16 and Richmond kids Victoria Liu and William Ji won three awards in front of a cheering crowd. Victoria Liu (aged 12) was crowned the Champion while William Ji (aged 11) took home the Second Runner-up as well as the People’s Choice Award. First Runner-up went to Lunar Tan (aged 10) while the Talent Award went to Leah Choy (aged 12).
First organized in 2010, Little Sunshine is an annual talent search for Chinese speaking kids between the ages of 4 and 12. The 2024 event kicked off at the beginning of September and six girls and two boys aged between 6 and 12 were selected to compete in the final contest held in front of audience today. For the past six weeks, these eight finalists underwent a series of training and rehearsals, learning how to talk, walk and dance on stage, and having their personal talent sharpened for public performance.
The final contest was consisted of four segments: opening dance, talent show, self-introduction and formal wear fashion show. While the fashion show offered glamour and flair, the talent show was best in reflecting the individuality and creativity of each kid. Musical instrument performance, hip-hop dance, singing, gymnastics, martial art and Broadway-style musical were just a few of the talent these kids have, and many kids combined two or even three types of talent for a fascinating performance, leaving the audience in awe.
The winners and finalists of the 2024 Little Sunshine will be appointed the Goodwill Ambassadors of the Winter Warm Wave campaign, an annual clothing drive to benefit the Salvation Army. They will appear at Aberdeen Centre on Saturday, Dec. 14 between 12 to 4 p.m. to receive clothing donations from the general public. Come support the Little Sunshine and the Winter Warm Wave by taking the clothes, books and toys you no longer need to Aberdeen Centre on December 14. A small souvenir will be given to you as a token of appreciation.
