What is the Omega Talent Hunt?

2025 Benjamin “Pops” Wilson Talent Hunt and Scholarship Recognition Program

Eta Nu Nu Chapter has donated more the $25,000 in performance arts scholarships

and cultural programs support

While the idea was conceived in 1945, the first District Talent Hunt program was held in the Sixth District in Charlotte North Carolina. Since its inception, the Talent Hunt Program established by Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has been instrumental in supporting youth worldwide in showcasing their artistic talents and giving them a platform to nurture these talents through an objective, unbiased competition both locally and regionally.  The Talent Hunt program is one of several national, mandated programs that our great fraternity facilitates in supporting our youth.  

The **Benjamin "Pops" Wilson Talent Hunt and Scholarship Program**, held on March 9, 2025, at Capital University, was an inspiring celebration of young talent and academic achievement. This annual event provides a platform for students to showcase their abilities in the arts while also honoring their commitment to academic excellence. The program highlighted the incredible performances of students who competed in various categories, with the top performers being awarded scholarships to support their educational journeys.

The winners of the 2025 Talent Hunt included **1st Place: Joryn Beckham**, a talented dancer whose performance captivated the audience, **2nd Place: Antione Lee**, an exceptional instrumentalist who demonstrated musical prowess, and **3rd Place: Loren Norman**, a gifted dancer whose artistry left a lasting impression. These talented individuals were not only recognized for their remarkable skills but also for their dedication to their education and future success. Congratulations to all participants for their hard work and impressive performances!
