The Franklin Fine Arts Council is accepting applications for the 13th annual Taste of Talent vocal competition to be held this summer in Bandstand Park, Franklin.
| The competition, which is sponsored by the Franklin Fine Arts Council, is open to soloists aged 16 and older. In past seasons, the concerts have drawn audiences of 800 to 1,400 people. Participants perform one to two songs each night and move on based on live voting by the audience each night. Local judges also provide live feedback after each performance. Last year's winner was Kaleb Beichner of Shippenville. |  |
