The semifinal segment is set for July 12 at the Theatre Guild, while the final showdown is carded for July 26 at the National Park.
All Guyana is buzzing this year with the news of the smashing prizes the company has put up for grabs, some even exclaiming that GT&T is becoming even more popular for giving back to society in the positive mode.
This year’s winner will be presented with a Toyota VIOS (Blue) motorcar, a one-year endorsement contract with GT&T, complimentary recording of a single, an Apple IPOD Touch, a Samsung Bluetooth Headset and a cellular phone.
The lucky second place winner will be awarded $500,000, a one-year endorsement contract with GT&T, an Apple IPOD Touch, a return trip to Jamaica and a cellular phone, while the third place contestant earns $250,000, a return trip to Trinidad, and an Apple IPOD Touch and cellular phone.
Those that may have missed the auditions, can ‘catch up on the entertainment’ every Thursday night on NCN, and HJTV at 21:00 hrs and 20:00 hrs respectively.
