We want to hear from musicians, other performers and artists - with £2,500 prize money per category up for grabs plus bookings and lots of publicity.

Former rapper turned classical singer Cameron, aged 30, has already entered.

He said: "Through my Granddad I developed a secret passion for opera and classical music.

"As a young guy on a council estate in Leeds I would walk around with my headphones on moving my head to a rhythmic beat as to not look conspicuous while really i was listening to Pavarotti or Mario Lanza."
