Urban Quest 2008 took place on Saturday.
The event was held in Palm Plaza, a pedestrian extension of McCrae Street, located outside the Dandenong Plaza.
Dandenong police multicultural liaison officer Joey Herrech returned to host the event as the temperature increased by a couple of degrees when performers began hitting the stage to compete.
Winners were spread across three categories, including Dance, Vocals and Street.

Urban Quest is a joint initiative of Mission Australia’s Youth Information Centre and the Dandenong Plaza, and aims to provide young people aged between 12 and 25 with a space to showcase their talents and express themselves creatively through music and dance.
