‘‘Over the past decade, the show has touched lives, built careers, and entertained African audiences. This year’s theme, ‘Your Voice, Your Victory,’ speaks directly to the heart of Nigerian Idol. It’s a reminder of the power of music in changing lives.”
The last season of Nigerian Idol delivered great entertainment, with Chima Udoye emerging as the winner.
How to audition for season 10
The competition is open to Nigerian citizens and legal residents aged 16 to 30 years as of the audition date.. Participants must have valid identification and no existing recording or talent management contracts.

Your audition video must be no longer than 30 seconds, show you performing solo (no background singers or instruments are mandatory), and be recorded in a well-lit and quiet environment. You may perform any song of your choice. However, ensure that the lyrics are appropriate and do not contain offensive or explicit language.

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.
