Young Star Search
The Young Star Search is a kids talent radio competition based in Northern Ireland. The competition runs on a number of local radio stations including Castle FM, Bangor FM and Belfast CityBeat.
The contest was developed by Northern Ireland radio presenter Stuart Robinson for his own station Castle FM in 2002. The competition then ran on Bangor FM from 2004. From 2005 the concept also became a stand alone event for many local councils in Northern Ireland including Carrickfergus Borough Council, Newtownabbey Borough Council and North Down Borough Council.
In 2007 the competition went province wide with its move on to Belfast CityBeat radio. The Young Star Search travelled to 12 different areas of Northern Ireland between May - July of 2007.
