MTN Project Fame West Africa, the music talent discovery and grooming competition, is back for an eighth straight season.
The
annual show that seeks to discover raw talents, will commence auditions
on Saturday, 20 June, in some West African major cities and conclude
the auditions in Lagos on 3 and 4 July.
This year,
thousands of young talents will fight to get into the prestigious
Project Fame Academy, where superstars are made, to be tutored by the
best in the music and entertainment industry.
For this Season, a major innovation that encourages participation from the comfort of one’s home has been introduced.
Olumide
Akinlabi, spokesperson of Ultima Limited, the producer of the show,
said aspiring contestants can simply “dial 5900 from their mobile phone
(MTN Line Only) and follow the voice prompt to record their audio
audition for 45 seconds.”
Akinlabi stated that after
this, the applicant will receive a notification PIN number within 24
hours, which will be used to register online.
Previous

whose Kukere, with the famous Etighi dance won the Best Pop Single at
the 2012 The Headies; Mike Anyasodo, whose Fine Fine Lady video won the
