The award winning music talent discovery and
grooming competition, MTN Project Fame West Africa is back for an eighth
straight season. Looking for raw talents, the annual show will commence
auditions from today in some West African major cities and rest the auditions
in Lagos on the 3rd and 4th of 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.
According to Mr
Olumide Akinlabi, the spokesperson of Ultima Limited, the producer of the show,
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 superstars

with the famous Etighi dance won the best pop single on the 2012 Headies Award
in Lagos; Mike Anyasodo, who by virtue of his Fine Fine Lady video won the 2010
