The only world talent championships of its kind held annually in Hollywood.
The age of the contestant on the first day of the month in which the world event occurs determines the age category of competition. For duets, trios, quartets, choirs, groups and production numbers, it is calculated by age averaging. Every member’s age as of the first day is added together then divided by the number of members in the group. If the average age of a group ends in 0.5 or higher, then it is rounded up to the next higher age.
