Bawabat Al Sharq Talent Show Reaps Staggering Success

Abu Dhabi, 29 August 2024: For the first time since its opening, Bawabat Al Sharq Mall has organized its own kids’ Talent Show to bid summer farewell and welcome the back-to-school season with a rewarding experience for students.

By the end of the month of July, the Mall had announced a call for talents among kids aged between 8 and 16 years old, whose auditions were to be assessed by a panel of three judges, including Romanian-Lebanese singer Alina K; Abu Dhabi’s favorite influencer, TV reporter, and radio presenter Azza Al Mughairy; and spectacular break-dancer, Skinny.

Following the thorough assessment of hundreds of online auditions, 15 participants were shortlisted to perform live at Bawabat Al Sharq Mall on Friday 23^rd of August, 2024, and compete for the three winners’ spots.

Animated by MC Issam Kabbara, also known as DJ Mikos, the live performances were a real sensation, conquering the crowd and making the judges’ decision harder than expected. They showcased a wide range of artistic talents, including singing in English and Arabic, dancing, poem recital, and playing a variety of musical instruments such as guitar, violin, ukulele and the piano.

The 15 finalists received a AED 500 gift voucher each as a token of appreciation for their talent, while the 3 winners received a trophy each to match their ranking, along with an extra AED 3,000 worth of gift vouchers for the winner; an extra AED 2,000 worth of gift vouchers for the first runner-up; and an extra AED 1,000 worth of gift vouchers for the second runner-up.

Once again, Bawabat Al Sharq Mall has succeeded in assembling community members around an exceptional and unforgettable entertainment experience, offering youngsters a great reason to start the school year with a big smile!
