Los Angeles-based Total Brand Experience will launch a virtual talent competition tomorrow, awarding a $1,000 prize to the winner. “We have so many colleagues whom we have worked with over the years that have served the industry as talent and entertainment--and who aren’t working now,” said TBX CEO Margaret Launzel-Pennes. "Our first thought was to give them a platform to showcase their talent to the industry at large. The more we got into it and thought about how many event industry professionals there are that have some amazing talent, the more sense it made to open it up to all.” One-minute videos can be submitted from May 15 to May 29, with final judging in early July.
