As part of the global Oprah Winfrey initiative to find the smartest and most talented kids around the world, mbc4 launched today its online effort for the search of equally smart and gifted kids in the Arab world to submit their home videos.                       
Only recently, Oprah put out a call to parents worldwide to send videos of their talented kids which will be selected and featured on Oprah.com and upcoming episodes of the Oprah Winfrey Show. Steps to submission and clear instructions can be checked on the mbc4 website, by logging on to www.mbc.net/mbc4.
“Given the significant growth of the global entertainment industry, particularly in web based communities”, said Mazen Hayek, Group Director of Marketing, PR & Commercial for mbc , “mbc4 seized this grand global opportunity to incite children from the entire Arab world to expose and materialize their hidden talents.
Parents worldwide are already rushing to unveil the talents of their kids, ranging from singing sensations, to musical prodigies, dancing pros and sheer unconventional genius. The show episodes will be broadcast on mbc4 which aims, in turn, to inspire and encourage families and children in the Arab world to make it to Oprah!
