competition

Children aged 0 to 14, from any country, registered and managed by a parent or legal guardian. Children never create accounts themselves — parents own the profile, the photos and every decision.

Registrations for the current competition remain open until 22 October 2026 at 8 PM (Sydney, Australia time).

You can register your child at any time during the National Stage, but all contestants must reach 50 votes before the National Stage ends to qualify for the International Stage.

Registrations will remain open after this deadline, but new applicants will automatically be entered into the next competition, with dates yet to be announced.

No. Registration and participation in World Kids Talent are completely free. Optional paid voting packages are available in the International and Final stages for supporters who wish to purchase additional votes.

Each season has three stages: National, International and the Final. On the National Stage, contestants have 7 days to reach 50 votes and qualify for the International Stage. On the International Stage, contestants have 7 days to compete for a place in the Top 10, and only the Top 10 contestants advance to the Final. In the Final, finalists have 14 days to compete for the title in their age division.

Tiny Stars (0–3), Young Stars (4–7) and Future Talents (8–14). Every ranking is calculated within the division, so children only ever compete with kids their own age.

A parent or legal guardian registers the child and submits a photo. Our team reviews the profile before it goes public. A video is optional for Young Stars (4–7) and Future Talents (8–14). Registration is free, and children never create an account themselves.

When a voting stage is open, a verified account can give one free vote per day. Paid vote packages are optional and are only available in the International and Final stages. You do not need them to take part, and buying votes does not guarantee qualification or a placing. Paid votes are added once payment is confirmed.

There are two free ways to vote. Each gives one vote per contestant per day, and votes reset at midnight Sydney (Australia) time.

Each age division has one winner. Once the National Stage starts, contestants have 7 days to reach 50 votes and qualify for the International Stage. On the International Stage, contestants have 7 days to compete for a place in the Top 10, and only the Top 10 contestants advance to the Final. Finalists have 14 days to compete for the title in their age division. One winner from each age division will be crowned a World Kids Talent Champion, featured on the cover of our Digital Magazine, and celebrated in our Hall of Fame.
