Congratulations again to Jared Pierce, your 2026 Chautauqua’s Got Talent Champion.

Jared’s journey didn’t happen overnight. He has been part of this competition for multiple seasons, putting in the work year after year, growing, learning, and showing up ready to improve.

Over the years, we’ve had the chance to work with him in mentoring sessions and watch him develop his craft. This season felt different. This was the year he truly found his voice on his own, and it showed every time he stepped on stage.

That kind of growth is what this competition is all about.
