Today 12 acts will battle it out in X Factor style auditions at the Sheffield City Hall for a place to perform at the Sainsbury's 2013 School Games.

As a high profile multi-sport event for the most talented young athletes from across the country, the Sainsbury's 2013 School Games Finals (12-15 September, Sheffield) requires acts for its Opening and Closing Ceremonies and for a range of sporting venues.

The blue artificial turf with its brilliant pink surround, nicknamed the 'smurf turf', was one of the stand-out images of the London 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford and it will now move from the Riverbank Arena to its new home in Sheffield for the Sainsbury's 2013 School Games.
