INFORMATION

BACKGROUND ON THE COMPETITION

COPPERSTONE Event Production & Creative Agency launched its first annual SA Bachelor & Bachelorette of the Year in 2011. This year will mark the 7th annual competition.
The competition was started to find South Africa’s most eligible bachelor and bachelorette, someone who encompasses brains, beauty, entrepreneurship and the spirit of Ubuntu. It is NOT a match-making competition, NOR a beauty pageant, but a competition where individuals who want to bring about change can make a difference and create awareness through charity or community work.

Successful candidates are chosen country-wide for judging. A carefully selected judging panel of individuals who are specialists in different fields select the cream of the crop to battle it out to become the next SA Bachelor and Bachelorette. The finalists will source their own sponsors, compete based on several challenges throughout the year, do their own fundraisers and media drives before the winners are announced at a red carpet formal event in November each year.

This year we have introduced 3 new categories.By celebrating the 7th year of the competition, we now have 5 different categories to compete in.

TALENT SEARCH

One of the three new categories we have introduced this year, is our very own Talent Search competition. We are always looking for fresh, new talent to perform at our official events.

Entries open 3 April 2017. This category is the only one where there is no age limits.Only vocalists (solo or group), of any age and any marital status, who don’t currently have a recording contract, will be eligible for entry.

Performers do not need any formal experience. We will solely judge their performances on feedback from guests at events.

After the finalists are announced, the judging panel and public support will determine the winner, who will be announced in October. Prizes for the winner will include a management and publicity contract.

Upon entry in this category, please also send us an audio or video clip of your song to info@c-stone.co.za, with the heading ”TALENT SEARCH”, along with your name and surname in the subject line.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

During the past 6 years we have raised in excess of R750 000 for various charities. NGO’s we supported in the past include: Jacaranda and Louis Botha Children’s Homes, Berg-en-Dal, Foodbank SA, Amadea Safe house, Cansa and their TLC Homes.

As always we will continue supporting childhood and breast cancer awareness and research. In South Africa, less than half of the children affected are diagnosed at an early stage and reach a treatment center in time. Many are diagnosed at an advanced stage of cancer with poorer treatment outcomes and almost half are never diagnosed and so do not receive any treatment. We are committed to childhood cancer support and awareness and believe ill children need and deserve as happy and normal a childhood as possible.

In 2014 COPPERSTONE Event Production & Creative Agency started the Survivor Shoot, a project we are very proud of. Our aim is to uplift and boost the spirits of ladies who have survived breast cancer. Once a  year we take a few very deserving ladies, spoil them to a weekend away including a beauty make-over and a professional photo-shoot, celebrating their beauty and strength. They also do a video-shoot where they in return share their stories to inspire people currently battling the illness.

This year our focus will remain on children and youth. In essence, we as a society are failing our children. Last year the competition started a countrywide charity- and awareness initiative, the TALK Initiative, based on Tolerance, Appreciation, Literacy and Kindness- to assist in building a more kind and gracious nation. This year we will continue with this initiative by assisting various NGO’s and continue our community outreach projects countrywide.
