A $1,500 cash prize will be awarded to the Grand Prize winner, with $750 cash prizes going to the winners of Talent Achievement in Vocal, Dance, Instrumental, and Specialty categories. Children's Hospital Central California is sponsoring the Grand Prize, while Varni Brothers 7-Up Bottling Company of Modesto is sponsoring the Vocal Talent Achievement Award.
