The judges will play a critical role in approving contestants who will proceed to the next stage, giving feedback or criticism on the acts, and eliminating contestants who don't receive the majority vote.
The show, localized to suit the East Africa market, will be broadcasted across four countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda, with media partners Citizen TV, Clouds TV, NBS, and RTV respectively.
The Coca-Cola Company has been unveiled as the official Refreshment Partner for the show across all four participating regions.
“The Coca-Cola System believes in supporting the creative sector in the country and providing a platform where people can showcase and develop their talents across the region,” said Beatrice Nyamari, Senior Integrated Marketing Communications Manager, Coca-Cola Southern and Eastern Africa Business Unit (SEABU).
