UG’s Got Talent: Patentia teen wins competition, now 1st brand ambassador

The University of Guyana’s Got Talent competition concluded earlier this month at the Theatre Guild of Guyana, Parade Street, Georgetown. This made way for the university’s very first brand ambassador.
Moses Williams emerged the inaugural winner of the competition, which begun on May 18 with two preliminary rounds, two quarter finals, a semifinal and the highly competitive final round. Williams hails from Patentia, Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara).
In the scoring of the competition, judges were given a percentage of votes, likewise the public and within the mega finals the public had a greater percentage in determining the winner.Williams, who is enrolled in the School of Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation, has credited his humble upbringing to his two devoted Christian parents. “My parents would’ve taught me about the importance of timing. There’s a time and season for everything,” Williams said. Questioned about being named the University of Guyana’s Talent Ambassador, Williams added: “I don’t take this responsibility lightly. It’s more than just getting a title, more than just getting recognised in front of others. This gives me the opportunity to develop new projects with the UGGT Board. Also, to use my many talents to inspire and help young people and the elderly. Along with many other noteworthy characteristics like singing and poetry, not forgetting mental health awareness.”
Sharing some encouragement to his fellow competitors, and other young aspiring talents, Williams went on to say, “It was an honour to share this the stage with so many great talents. I pray that you all continue giving your best on which ever stage you chose to go next…a few years back, I participated in a highly visible competition and finished third. I was content with my third place.” He said that considering that, he held firm in his belief that “my first win will arrive shortly, and it did. This proves that I kept trying. To stand on stage and display your ability requires courage. There will be times when you feel inadequate, when you want to give up, and when you doubt your abilities. But pay attention when I emphasise that God has the final word. You’ll experience success if you give yourself encouragement from God’s Word.”
As the winner of the competition, Williams is expected to travel to the United States to perform alongside an International Artiste. He also won $200,000.
