MTV Base returns with the four city regional auditions for the MTV Base VJ Search.
If you think you have what it takes to join our alumnus Sizwe Dhlomo, Vanessa Mdee, Sandile Ntshingila, Ehizojie “Ehiz” Okoeguale, Nomuzi Mabena and Fikile “Fix” Moeti, this is your chance to prove it to our expert panel of judges when the latest edition of the nationwide MTV Base VJ Search comes to your city.
By 30 July 2017 the new VJ will be announced and awarded a 12-month contract as an ambassador for the network while they also stand a chance to host MTV Base shows and interview some of the biggest music stars in the world at international award shows such as the Video Music Awards (VMAs), European Music Awards (EMAs), and The MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA). They are expected to have a passion for global and African youth culture and music, and must be authentic and “live life in colour”, just like the network’s audience.
Auditions will be held at these dates and venues:
– 3 June: Zone 6 Venue, Soweto, Johannesburg
– 10 June: Olive Convention Centre, Durban
– 17 June: Belmont Square, Cape Town
– 24 June: The Beach Hotel, Port Elizabeth.
