Each participant is allowed only one entry. Before sending it in, ensure your submission meets all requirements.
For the first round, auditions will be conducted virtually. Shortlisted contestants will be invited to physical auditions. Specific venues and dates will be communicated directly to shortlisted candidates.
Previous contestants who did not make it to the live shows are welcome to audition again for Season 10, provided they meet the age and other eligibility criteria. If you’re a previous contestant, follow the same audition process as new contestants, and your previous performance will not affect your chances in the current season.
