Held at Horsham Town Hall, thanks to weather, dozens of performers danced, sang and dazzled their way through the night on November 13.
The culmination of performances ended with the announcement of the 2021 recipient of the Richard Morris Memorial Scholarship.
The 2021 recipient was awarded to Liberty Hobbs. Though Liberty was unable to attend the showcase in person, she was able to send through her message of thanks and gratitude via video message.

For many performers it was a welcome return to being on stage for an audience after almost two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
One of the loudest applause had to be for the Horsham College performance of Matilda. A school production two years in the making only to be canned at the last minute in 2021.
A skeleton cast performed two songs from their production which wowed the audience.
Two cast members received encouragement awards, Penny Lopez and Ebony Hart. Cementing just how talented Horsham College students are.
Three St Brigid's year 12 students returned for a scene from their play, Midsummer Jersey, a reinterpretation of the Shakespeare play A Midsummer's Nights Dream.
The 2019 recipient of the Richard Morris Scholarship, Liam Robertson, returned to sing a classic Celine Dion number, It's All Coming Back to Me Now.
A close friend of Richard Morris, Jack Janketski, monologued the poem Blokes Weren't Meant to Shop. The performance drew many chuckles from the audience despite a slight hiccup when lines were briefly forgotten.
The RM Showcase was an excellent return to the wide variety of talent and skills found in the Wimmera.
