Festival4Stars was a UK-based talent competition for singing and dancing open to all ages. Set up to combat the negative feedback given on mainstream reality shows, each contestant gets written feedback from 2 of the professional industry judges.
Festival4stars started in 2002 a four-heat pilot in the West Of Scotland.
2003 and 2004 saw a growth to heats in seven regions in Scotland and England and in 2005 this grew even bigger to nine regions of the UK.
In 2011 Festival4Stars will have 25 11 regions encompassing Northern Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland. Adding the seven regional finals, and two national finals, 2011 will have 34 events.
