Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the third season of MTN Project Fame Season 3 which promises to be more interesting, exciting and thrilling than ever before. Since its debut in 2008, MTN Project Fame West Africa has fast become a dominant property in Nigerian socio-entertainment culture.
MTN Project Fame is not your regular music talent competition. PFWA is a music talent competition which creates the opportunity of a lifetime for 18 naturally gifted individuals to end up becoming music superstars.
These lucky 18 hopefuls after being chosen from a round of auditions will be taken to the Performance Academy where they will live throughout the duration of Project fame and where they would be refined into becoming music professionals who know how to record, compose songs, perform live and also learn music instruments by members of the Faculty. The Faculty is a group of music professionals whose main responsibility is to teach and train the contestants.
While in the Fame Academy, contestants will be filmed 24/7. 30 minutes of their day inside the Academy will be aired on several TV stations all over the country from Monday to Friday. On Sunday the contestants will all perform. After their individual performances, the judges and members of the faculty will comment and afterwards members of the public get to vote for the contestant who they think had the best performance.
Voting starts from Sunday 8pm to Saturday 4pm. The short code for texting is 306 from an MTN line. Each SMS costs N50.
The next Saturday is the elimination show where the four contestants with the lowest public votes will be up for elimination. The four contestants are however given a chance to redeem themselves by performing again. Afterwards, the judges, the contestants and the faculty save one contestant each. The contestant who isn’t saved at all is automatically eliminated. This is the same format the show will go with until a winner emerges in three months time.
This year the winner of Project Fame goes home with a fantastic recording contract, N2.5m and a brand new Toyota RAV4. The 1st runner up gets to go home with N1.5m and a Toyota Corolla while the 2nd runner gets N1m and a Toyota Yaris. In addition the top 6 contestants get to work with Nigeria’s leading producer on their own compositions and release a group song!
The first winner of MTN Project Fame was Iyanya Mbuk who has gone on to release his successful debut album, My Story. The winner of PFWA Season 2 was Mike Anyasodo whose ‘Fine Fine Lady’ single is now a radio and a regular on TV Channel, across the country.
MTN Project Fame West Africa is produced by Ultima Limited which happens to be a major TV content and production company. Ultima Limited has also produced the highly popular franchise hit show- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
