YIPA is a major event on the Central Coast NSW and the Sunshine Coast project has strong links to the Central Coast YIPA project and their full support. The inaugural ‘prototype’ event will be held in 2021, with the view to creating an annual YIPA event for the Sunshine Coast that will become as significant as its southern predecessor. For 2021, auditions will be held during April and May in a ran
ge of venues including open audition days in the brand new theatre space at the University of the Sunshine Coast, at selected schools and studios, and anywhere else the audition panel can arrange to see performances by youth with talent. Performers may appear in solo acts, with accompanists, as a duo, or in groups. YIPA Sunshine Coast is open to any performer in any style of entertainment, so long as they have reached the age of attending high school, and are no older than 21.
