BBA season 8 Auditions starts March 11 ...

Organisers of the annual Big Brother Africa reality TV show have announced that auditions for shortlisted candidates in Nigeria will take place at Protea Hotel Leadway, Lagos from Monday, March 11 through Thursday 14.

For applicants who were unable to enter online or submit the entry at the nearest office, the good news is that there is still an opportunity for them to enter through the open auditions on the same dates, venue and time. Biola Alabi, Managing Director of M-net said last week that the open auditions allow individuals who were unable to enter before entries closed one last chance to impress the selection team. “All you are required to do is fill in the entry form which is currently available at your nearest MultiChoice office, then make your way to the audition venue where a production team member will assist you,” said Alabi.

Entries are only open to persons over the age of 21, who are citizens of one of the participating countries and who either have a valid passport or will be able to obtain one by the end of March. Producers are looking for persons who are fluent in English, entertaining, open-minded, adventurous, bold and passionate about the Big Brother experience. Importantly the selection team is looking for qualities of tolerance, determination and enthusiasm. Already, organisers disclosed that they have received entries from over 14 participating countries. - NCW
