Telecommunication giants Vodafone Ghana have announced that auditions for this year’s music reality show, Vodafone Icons will start on Friday, September 18.
The show dubbed ‘Vodafone Icons: High School Edition’ will make its first stop in Kumasi Anglican Senior High School in the Ashanti Region to audition schools within the northern zone.
Schools in Ashanti, Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions fall in this zone.
Commenting Director of Marketing at Vodafone Ghana Agnes Emefa Essah expressed excitement over the start of the process to unearthing another music talent.
“This year’s edition, focusing on High Schools, is surely going to exceed all odds,” Ms Essah said.
“It is a unique chance for bands from various Senior High Schools to battle and win attractive prizes including a state-of-the-art musical studio for the winning school. We are also happy to associate with the Ghana Education Service in this endeavour.”
The next stop for the auditions will be at the Aggrey Memorial School in Cape Coast, Central Region on September 26 for the central zone, which will constitute schools in the Central and Western regions.
The final audition will be held at Accra Academy on October 3 for schools in the southern zone, comprising schools from Greater Accra, Volta and Eastern regions.
Successful high school bands from the auditions will undergo further grooming by the judges, professional voice coaches and choreographers and will compete against each other for the ultimate prize.
The winning band will represent Ghana at the global high school musical contest organised by Vodafone in Turkey and each member of the band will also receive an educational scholarship.
There will also be consolation prizes for other finalists.
