KY3 and the City of Springfield are proud to have hosted the “Great Route 66 Talent Search” competition in 2024. We discovered some incredible talent! On August 10 the finalists put on a great show for the judges and a live audience on the Chevy Dealers of the Ozarks Stage at the Historic Shrine Mosque.
We’re pleased to announce the winners of this first-year event, each of whom “advance” to the America’s Got Talent audition by way of a “guaranteed front of the line pass” to attend a virtual open call audition in one of the official casting call locations.
