The main message was the importance of unity and encouraging one another, within the black community.

The grand prize winners, a duo named “PDG” stole the show with a creative mash-up of dance and drama that mimicked a video game.

Global Montreal Anchor Camille Ross was a judge for the event, and says she’ll be back next year.

“There is so much hidden talent in Montreal, and the good people at Jeunesse-Emploi have done an amazing job of offering our youth a platform to showcase their skills and gain experience.”
