“For a first time round it was a huge success,” said Archie, adding that there were more than 30 entries aged four to 18.
He said: “The top ten were very strong contenders. In the process of rehearsing and getting them on to the night they went from strength to strength.”
Emily won £500 and a place performing on stage at the Burgess Hill Christmas Lights switch-on, while Megan received £350 and Joe got £150.
Archie said the contest will become an annual event and hopes to create a ‘road show’ featuring the finalists.
