The Old Mutual-sponsored competition will provide unsigned musicians from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa with an opportunity to show their talent to the continent, while competing for the coveted $100,000 grand prizes.

Gospel, pop and RnB singing groups consisting of four, six or eight members are urged to submit their digital entries before November 26 to http://www.oldmutual.co.za/amazing-voices.

 

Contestants should submit a two-minute video that introduces the group and includes one verse and chorus of their song.
