This year’s edition of the only band musical talent show in Nigeria, Star Quest, will witness a series of dramatic transformation as opposed to the usual format of the programme.
The management of Nigerian Breweries Plc, manufacturers of Star Lager beer, has revealed that the entry format and participation in the musical talent hunt would differ greatly from previous editions.
While addressing the media recently, Mr. Tony Agenmonmen, Nigerian Breweries Plc’s Marketing Manager, who represented Mr. Yusuf Ageni, the company’s Corporate Affairs Adviser, stated that online registration will no longer be required as a criterion for selecting intending participants for a chance to audition.
He stated that arrangements have been made for participants to register at selected locations in Lagos, Abuja, Benin and Enugu. Contestants would then be auditioned after registration at the selected centres.
‘A fresh spice has been added to Star Quest 2011 compared to previous editions. 55 contestants selected from the regional auditions will be assembled in Lagos for a Grand Audition where they will display their talents in front of a live audience. This will enable viewers capture the excitement that accompanies contestants, realizing they will be going into the Star Fame Land’, Agenmonmen explained.
However, only 36 out of the 55 in the Grand Audition will proceed to Fame Land for the Star Quest 2011 contest proper.
Star Quest which debuted in 2002 is a talent hunt show aimed at discovering new musical bands comprising of different talents who have no prior musical recording contracts.
The winning band will walk away with N7.5 million recording contract, a brand new mini-van and N600, 000 cash for each member of the group. Other prizes include a musical tour around Nigeria during the next edition of Star Trek and a chance to perform alongside top international acts at the 2011 edition of Star Mega Jam.
The foremost Nigerian musical talent show has produced musical bands such as KC Presh, D’Accord, D’Jewels, Diamonds, The Pulse and the present Jukebox – some of them who are now bona fide music stars.
