The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. is proud to present its Annual Talent Hunt Program. The Talent Hunt Program strives to provide young American individuals an opportunity to develop, express, and receive recognition for their talents. This Talent Hunt has been a proud tradition of the fraternity since 1949, and that same enthusiasm still exists today. We take great pride in recognizing talented youth. An essential part in locating individuals for our program is nominations we receive from parents, principals, guidance counselors, teachers and churches.
