Talent Quest has been around for many years, while Excel is only in it's second year.

  • Junior Talent Quest — ages 8-12, conference level only
  • Teen Talent Quest — ages 13-19, conference level and winners advance to national level
  • Beyond Quest: Excel — ages 20-25, national level only

Registrations are due in the conference office (Heartland Conference Talent Quest, PO Box 10401, Midwest City, OK 73140) by Monday, March 25, 2013. Registration fees are per each individual and based on how many categories the contestant enters:

  • $15 for one category
  • $25 for two or more categories

There are many changes in both programs this year with new categories and new guidelines, specifically concerning copyright issues. Updated guidelines, as well as registration forms, are available here: Talent Quest Downloads. Please note, all registrations must now be accompanied by a Consent Waiver to allow photographs and videos of contestants to be used by the IPHC for promotional purposes.
