Oprah Winfrey is hosting a competition to find the next tv star. The winner will get their own talk show on her network OWN. Cyrus Webb believes this would be a great avenue to give his platform and you, the public, a worldwide voice.

• SHARE: The top 5 videos with the most votes will move on the finals after July 3, 2010. In order for Cyrus to reach this point, he will need you to not only vote each day, but share the information with those you know so they can do the same. The site allows you to tweet the video as well as share on Facebook, too.
• JOIN THE TEAM: Beginning June 1, 2010, Cyrus Webb and his organization Shadow Play Entertainment will launch an national campaign to encourage voting participation. This will include Youtube ads and promotional material. Bookmark www.cyruswebb.com for upcoming details.

That’s all there is to it! Start off NOW by voting for Cyrus Webb here ( http://bit.ly/bGH6c7) and throughout the day until July 3, 2010. Together we can work together to bring another positive male influence to television.
