She added: “Time2Shine is not just for residents of Mold, the competition is open to anyone who visits Mold, attends school in Mold or works or plays in the town.

Previous winners of Time2Shine (or as it was formally known ‘Mold’s Got Talent’) are also not eligible to enter unless their act / performance is different i.e solo singer now a duo.”
