DETROIT -- Vocalists and instrumentalists from the Detroit area have until Feb. 1 to enter a $10,000 competition designed to showcase the region's young musical talent.

The arts and youth development nonprofit Sphinx Organization is hosting its second annual Sphinx Stars: Detroit contest.

It's open to musicians ages 18 and under from Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw counties.

Entrants must submit a three- to five-minute video audition. Those who are unable to make a video due to lack of access to technology can contact the Sphinx office to make audition arrangements.

There's a $15 application fee, which can be waived by submitting an email request.

Nine finalists will be chosen to perform live on the Sphinx Stars: Detroit finale, to be aired in the spring on Detroit Public Television.
