Talented youngsters who fancy performing at the O2 Arena and a share of £5,000 can enter this year’s Glee Club challenge.

Entries have now opened for the Jack Petchey Glee Club Challenge 2013. The music and dance project is aimed at young performers in Newham with a chance to win a share of £5,000 in prizes and perform at London’s IndigO2 at The O2 Arena on November 24 2013.
