Want To Win 1,000,000 Bob? Audition For The Gospel Show VipaG!

I got an email from Joe Mubrui, the executive producer for VIpaG. You can be sure I thought he was punking me!

He alone has the details, so it’s only fair that i use his words verbatim. “We are launching a gospel music talent search dubbed ‘VipaG – The Season of African Praise’. The talent search is probably the biggest gospel talent search of its kind, to have been organized in East and Central Africa. The talent search is open to aspiring gospel singers, rappers, spoken word artists, bands, dance crews,choirs and praise and worship teams.  The winner of VipaG will be rewarded with a grand prize of Kshs 1,000,000 and the title of “Kenya’s Next Gospel Music Sensation”.” Hold up, WHAT!

“The show has no age limits. Registration for audition is on going, and audition registration forms can be found at www.vipagshow.com. The deadline for registrations is 15th May 2013. Auditions will be held in Nairobi, from the 24th to 26th May 2013. During auditions, the participants will undergo training which will cover areas such as copyright and contract laws, branding as well as how to turn music into a business.” Still with me?

Audition charges are Kshs 400 for individuals, and Kshs 300 per person in a group. The talent search is divided into a number of stages, which will run from auditions to group stages, quarter finals, semi finals and then the Grand Finale to be held in a live concert on 20th October 2013.

The whole competition will be tapped and will be appearing as a TV show in a Kenyan TV station beginning of July 2013. The talent search promises lots of entertainment for Kenyans and especially the Christians. The show is created by Joe Muburi and directed by Joy Obuya”
