The regional auditions will kick off at the Reiz Continental Hotel in Abuja, from March 10 and last till March 12.

Over the three day period, interested participants will attempt to please a panel of judges by performing various musical acts. Successful individuals at this stage would proceed to the Grand Audition stage, thus inching closer to carting away the Star Quest 2011 grand prize.

Unlike  previous  editions  in  which  on-line  registration  was required, interested  participants  only  need  to  walk into the designated audition venue, register and perform in front of the judging panel.

According  to  Yusuf Ageni, Corporate Affairs Adviser of Nigerian Breweries Plc, manufacturers  of Star lager beer, “The Company is pleased to welcome the  young  Nigerians  who  are  residing in Abuja and its environs to Reiz Continental  Hotel  for Star Quest 2011 regional auditions.

Star lager beer is offering this unique platform to music enthusiasts for them to explode into stardom. We invite them to take advantage of this unique opportunity to exhibit their musical talents. One or more members of Nigeria’s next Star Quest winners may just emerge from this zone.”

Those willing to partake at the auditions are required to possess good vocals, or the ability to play musical instruments, or both. Other regions Star Quest auditions will be conducted are Enugu, Benin and Lagos. Star Quest was introduced in 2002 with the main objective of reinforcing and demonstrating the Star brand’s theme of Sharing a Brighter Life.
