Advertise Where Attention Lasts
Place Your Business Inside a Story People Will Remember
Most advertisements disappear in seconds. This one becomes part of a story.
The Maine Talent Show will bring together courageous contestants, devoted families, community leaders, Elvis Presley fans, regional visitors, volunteers, and supporters of charitable causes for an unforgettable celebration at the Augusta Civic Center.
When your business advertises with us, you are doing more than purchasing space. You are helping give talented people their moment onstage, preserving an important chapter of Maine history, and supporting an event created to benefit worthy causes.
Your advertisement will appear in an experience that people will remember, revisit, share, and recommend.
Why Advertise With the Maine Talent Show?
Your business will be seen by a broad, multigenerational audience that values:
- Maine businesses and community involvement
- Live entertainment and emerging talent
- Elvis Presley and music history
- Family-friendly experiences
- Civic pride and historic preservation
- Nonprofit organizations and charitable causes
- Companies that step forward to support their communities
This is an opportunity to place your business before an attentive audience while demonstrating that your company believes in people, possibilities, and the future of Maine.
The Premium Collector’s Edition Program
More Than a Program—A Keepsake
The official commemorative program will be designed as a premium collector’s edition, not a disposable handout.
Attendees will be encouraged to save it, revisit its stories, share it with family and friends, and preserve it as a souvenir of this historic event. That gives your advertisement a longer life than an ordinary newspaper, radio, or digital promotion.

Your advertisement becomes a public statement that your business is willing to stand with the people who make our communities stronger.
Help Us Give Someone Their Moment
