NBC's AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Wants Fans to Help Spot Talent for Next Season

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT announced today that in addition to its multi-city audition tour, the series will offer fans the opportunity to refer their favorite acts with Talent Scout, an online nomination submission where people can refer their favorite singers, dancers, illusionists and comedians to be considered for the competition series.

Nominations for potential Talent Scout submissions can be made online at www.agtauditions.com/scout beginning today and continuing through March 2015.

"Talent Scout offers the chance for viewers to nominate undiscovered talent that the world needs to see," said Executive Producer Jason Raff. "We started this program last year and that's how we found out about Quintavious Johnson, the 12-year-old singer who made it to the finals. A friend of the family submitted his video online, and a few months later, Quintavious was performing for a million dollars at Radio City Music Hall."

"I was so determined for the world to see Quintavious Johnson and his God-given talent, so I submitted his video online," said the family friend, Jana Officer. "If you truly believe in someone's talent, even if it's not your own, this is the way to go!"
