We are looking for talented high school vocalists to take the spotlight! Shining Star CLE<https://mandeljcc.org/Shining-Star-CLE/mandeljcc/> is returning to Playhouse Square on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 6:30 PM. A total of $18,500 in college scholarships will be awarded amongst the top 4 winners. The first-place winner's school music department will receive $2,500. The competition is a great opportunity to highlight a students' talent and bring recognition to the school. Shining Star CLE supports young artists' dreams while raising important funds to support youth and senior programming in our community. Do you know a talented singer (or are you one?) graduating between 2026 and 2029 from Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne counties?
