MultiChoice Nigeria, the organisers of Nigerian Idol, has opened auditions for the highly anticipated 10th season.

Starting Friday, January 17, 2025, talented Nigerians are invited to audition for a chance to showcase their skills on one of Africa’s biggest music platforms.

According to a statement by MultiChoice, submissions will close on Sunday, February 2, 2025.

This season, themed “Your Voice, Your Victory,” encourages young Nigerians aged 16 to 30 to take a bold step towards achieving their dreams.

“To audition, participants must record a 30-second video of themselves singing a song of their choice and upload it to the Africa Magic website: www.africamagic.tv/nigerianidol,” the statement read in part.

Speaking on the announcement, Dr. Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and Channels West Africa at MultiChoice, said:
Nigerian Idol is not just about discovering talent; it’s about giving everyday Nigerians the chance to share their voice and inspire others. Over the past decade, the show has touched lives, built careers, and entertained audiences across Africa. 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 exceptional entertainment, with Chima Udoye emerging as the winner.

The 10th season promises to be even more captivating, continuing the tradition of unearthing Nigeria’s rich musical talent.
