The competition is being changed up in 2022. Rather than a single grand winner, four winners will be crowned from each category:

·        Youth- Under 16 (at time of entry)

·        16+Male

·        16+Female

·        60+(male and female)

Hopefuls are encouraged to upload an audition directly to maoritelevision.com/shows/5-minutes-fame/

Video clips must feature the artist singing part of their favourite waiata and can be no longer than five minutes in duration.

The cut-off date for entries is 30 July 2022.

Face-to-face auditions will begin later in the month.

Last year’s overall winner was Perēri King from Ahuriri (Napier) who walked away with a swag of recording gear.
