Have you got the T Factor?
The brand new Scunthorpe Telegraph T Factor competition is giving people with skills of all kinds a chance to shine, no matter what those abilities might be.
Whether you can juggle jelly, sing like Shakira, perform magic to baffle David Blaine or charm snakes, the T Factor is for you.
The super skills showdown is a unique opportunity to show North Lincolnshire what you do best, no matter how unusual it may be.
Whether you work alone or are part of a group, this test of talent is for you.
Not only is T Factor the perfect platform for performers to reveal their secret strengths, there is a great cash prize on offer.
Economic times may still be tough with families feeling the financial pinch after Christmas but with a cool £500 on offer the bank balance of the winner will get a real boost.
The cash bonus can be spent however the victor or victors chooses, whether that be funding their prize-winning hobby, doing DIY or a good old spending spree.
The application form is printed on this page and if you think you could dazzle judges and crowds alike, then get scribbling.
Be sure to describe what you do in a little detail– dancers, tell us what your discipline is, if you sing, what's your style? if you play guitar, are you folk fabulous or speed metal style?
While our previous Pub Idol challenge was a fabulous forum for singers to showcase their dulcet tones, this time, anyone could walk away with the wonga.
Forums can be submitted from today and as long as you are aged over 16 and your talent is suitable for audiences to enjoy, you could triumph in the Scunthorpe Telegraph's very first T Factor.
And for those who would rather watch friends, family and complete strangers take to the stage, the heats and grand final will be held in venues all around the region.
The events promise to be fantastic fun for all involved, with performances by contenders and compering by veteran Telegraph talent hunt maestro Ian McLane.
Whether you are a magician, dancer, singer, musician, comedian, band, acrobat, plate spinner or something else entirely, apply now and make sure your form reaches us by the closing date of February 26.
Heats will be held at local venues, with a grand final where the top acts will fight it out.
Do you have what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Susan Boyle who has rocketed to worldwide fame after winning TV's X-Factor?
