At a special event held in Lagos to officially launch the new season, Globacom's Head of Glo 1 and Business Solutions, Folu Aderibigbe, stated that "all hands are on deck to ensure that the third season is bigger, better, and more exciting in terms of organisation, exposure and the quality of talents that the show will put on stage for the big cash prize of $100,000 and a brand mew Toyota RAV 4, Glo ambassadorship and a recording contract with a leading record company."
Speaking at the event, Gideon Khobane, Marketing Manager, M-Net Africa, said the company was happy to partner with Glo once more on a programme which has continued to draw large audiences who are eager to see, hear, and celebrate great music from rising Nigerian stars.
Viewers of the programme will also have an exciting time as selection will be done by voting through Short Messages Services (SMS) on their phones.
Viewers stand to win exciting prizes such as Glo high speed Internet Modems, Glo recharge cards and DSTV mobile phones as a reward for their participation.
Already, auditions have been held in several locations across the country with top contestants selected in Ibadan, Benin, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kaduna and Lagos.

Selected contestants, who must be Nigerian citizens over the age of 18, will be allowed to display their talents, win great prizes and get an accelerated shot at stardom.
