Our kids’ division books are currently CLOSED for all age groups. If you recently applied during our 9-13yrs opening, you will receive a response either way by 5th March.
Our books will be open for kids 4-8yrs* on Friday 2nd May @ 9am-Tues 6th May @ 9am. All divisions (North & South, Model, Talent, Acting & Extra/S.A).
*Kids 3yrs who will be 4yrs by 28th June can apply during this intake
Successful applicants will be requested to submit a self tape 11-15th June. Final audition will be in person - you must be available to attend either Sat 28th June London or Sat 5th July Manchester. We may be able to assess virtually for Model division only.
We currently have no more planned openings for kids in 2025; we have recently completed a baby opening. We typically do not open for new 1-3yrs & 14-16yrs as they are always full from previous intakes as they grow.
Family division books TBC.
Application form will be live during the above period only.
You will be required to attach clear, current photos to your application. Snapshots are absolutely fine at this stage. Please see below some examples of suitable snapshot application photos. Snaps should be taken using good natural lighting, no editing or filters, no make-up or hair styling and preferably against a plain/neutral background. All photos should be recent and current.
Please include at least:
1. Headshot – straight face
2. Headshot – smiling showing teeth
3. Full length
VERY IMPORTANT - Before applying, please ensure you have read the FAQ Page. This should answer any initial queries you may have at this stage as well as explaining a little more about the industry as a whole and the agency requirements. It is very important you have read and understood this BEFORE you submit an application.
Please sign up to our mailing list on our homepage to be notified of our next opening dates when we have them. Please avoid calling or emailing the office for more information - this page is kept fully up to date at all times and any more details will be released on our mailing list and social media feeds first.

When applying to join, the following should be taken into consideration:
- Babies/Toddlers - Should be of a typically calm and easygoing disposition. Happy and comfortable in front of the camera. Happy being handled by and confident around strangers. Generally unperturbed by changes in pattern and busy environments.
- Children/Teenagers - Should be well behaved, confident, happy in front of the camera and enjoy meeting new people. For our acting division, we require a CV stating experience/training. Actors/Actresses joining our talent or acting division would be required to join Spotlight if accepted, if not already a member.
Shoots will nearly always take place during the day, so for school age children, parents must be happy for their child to miss school as and when. The agency/client will apply for a child performance licence for your child when required. Parents must be available to chaperone their child to castings/shoots when required.
