Join us for the world’s first ever 17-second talent show! Vidku is coming from Minneapolis to have their official launch right here in Fargo, at the Prairie Den. Their app allows users to create 17-second videos, and to show it off, we’re asking you to show us the best 17 seconds you got.

Whether you are a singer, dancer, musician, juggler, painter, potter, baton twirler, circus act, beat-boxer or freakishly flexible – show off your mad skills, and get it all in a 17-second video using the Vidku app! Already we’re seeing everything from Rubix cube solving to juggling mobile phones.

So many prizes

Yes, there will be prizes. All entries will be judged by a team of local hip and talented folks, and prizes ranging up to $75 will be given out at the end of the live show.

You can submit your entries now, but you have to be present at the final show at the Prairie Den to see if you win!
