 Lagos|Nigeria The most popular music talent show in Nigeria is set to hit our screens in just a few days time. As from Monday July 12, millions of music fans across the World will once again gather around their TV sets to watch the third season of MTN Project Fame West Africa.

On the said date highlights of the auditions and the semi-finals will be shown on air. The highlights of the auditions will give to the opening gala night which will go on from the 18^th of July.

The gala night is when the 15 most promising individuals will be introduced to the public and ushered into the performance academy where they will be taught the basics of the performing arts by the industry’s top professionals.

The public will have the fine opportunity of watching the contestants grow into performing artistes and good song writers daily. This feature re-instates the fact that Project Fame is not the regular run-of-the-mill talent show where wannabes are placed on air just for entertainment sake but a training ground where raw talents are moulded into young and bright stars.

Running for the course of three months, MTN Project Fame West Africa is set to thrill fans and viewers alike with endless performances from the contestants as well as on- and- off tantrums displays by the hopefuls while in the academy and their nerve-wracking emotions when they are put on for eviction or eventually sent home.

With an amazing TV audience and a cross- genre music content PFWA is arguably Nigeria’s most watched entertainment show on TV.
