The Rising Star Programme, operated by BlackBark Productions, has been established for the purposes of recognising, celebrating and connecting young talented people who have a capacity for achievement and success and who contribute in an inspirational manner to the future of our nation.

How to use this portal

If you are wanting to nominate yourself or someone else for Rising Star then please use the "NOMINATE" menu above. The Nomination Page offers you two choices:

• NOMINATE YOURSELF
• NOMINATE OTHERS

Should you choose to nominate yourself you will then be shown a form that will both register you on the portal as a Nominee as well as nominate your for Rising Star. You will then be forwarded to the first of five sets of questions. You will need to answer all five sets of questions to complete your nomination process. Once you have completed your nomination questions you will then be given the option to nominate someone else you think should also participate. You may nominate as many people as you wish to.

Should you choose to just nominate someone else you will first be presented with a registration form to register you on this portal as a Nominator. After which you will be presented with the nomination form that you may use to nominate as many other people for Rising Star as you wish by reusing the form each time.

Please note that once you have registered either as a nominator or as a nominee, or have been registered as a nominee by someone else, you do need to use the login credentials ie your email address submitted in the registration and the password that was sent to you via email to login before either nominating others if you are a nominator or completing the nomination process questions if you are a nominee!

We wish you GOOD LUCK to you or your nominees!
