THE annual talent search, Starbrite, enters Season 2 with the launch of the current season on July 26 at Pandhari Lodge. Barney Mpariwa, the brains behind the talent show, said he was inviting companies to buy tables for fundraising.
"We are inviting companies for a fundraising dinner. We hope the money raised will go a long way to fund our activities," he said.
Former contestants from the 90s and 2013 finalists will make a cameo appearance on the day.
Unlike other seasons where the prime talents search was only aired once a week, this year it will also be aired on Saturday profiling the contestants.
The show has grown after its resumption last year and those who won last year walked with various prizes.
Bryan Kadengu won in the music category and walked away with a Honda Fit, all-expenses paid trips to the United States, South Africa, Germany and Victoria Falls, Samsung 32-inch LCD TV, recording contract with Tuku Music, a residential stand and a BlackBerry handset.
Other winners were Amanda Manyowa of Harare and Xolani Ndhlovu of Bulawayo, who came second and third respectively. Manyowa received a performance trip to South Africa, a recording contract with Tuku Music, singing mentorship with Hugh Masekela, Judith Sephuma and Louis Mhlanga in South Africa, an iPad, an android handset, paid-up gym membership among others.

In the poetry category, Promise Madavanhu from Masvingo came first with Nomore Dovi as the runner-up. The dancing category saw Harare-based Magesh pipping Hard Mashona to clinch the top spot. Takudzwa Mashonganyika took the Special Talent category.
For his poetic exploits, Promise Madavanhu won a residential stand, laptop, android phone among other prizes. Runner-up Nomore Dovi got an android phone, headphone set and Oceane perfume hamper.
