HEYCAST REQUIREMENT
We will be submitting talent over the weekend using HeyCast and everyone who is submitted will need to have their profile set up. Parents can add their child's profiles using the following process and can be either considered as CHAPERONES only or considered for the parent role. Let us know which you prefer.
For parents we recommend you set up your HeyCast account and profile first. To create an account go to HeyCast using this LINK and set up a profile. When you have your profile done click on the Setting Menu on the left side panel in your HeyCast account and select CREATE CHILD PROFILE. This allows you to create a new profile using the same email address and you can then add all the details for your child. Repeat for additional children.
