Back after a 2 year hiatus!
Next Top Singer (previously "YouTube Idol") is a singing competition with 10 completed seasons so far. We start with casting episodes where the 3 judges comment and vote yes or no on the auditions and give scores. After, the accepted contestants compete with different themes in each round - even a group theme! Each contestant gets honest feedback and scores every round. A number of contestants are eliminated in each round until the winner remains.
Since season 5 we have had "live" deliberations so you can actually hear how the judges argue and get to the decision and see individual votes. Since the 2019 season there's a money prize. The winner of season 11 will get $200.
How to audition: Please read "Rules for first auditions" if you want to compete. I recommend that you read all of the rules though (and rules for judges if you want to be a judge). Then audition via CCC, email, or Discord.
DEADLINE for judge applications: April 1.
DEADLINE for contestant auditions: May 1.
The competition (round 2) starts in June.

Instructions in the video description!
NOTE: Only the winner gets paid.
Please read the Rules first! We need additional things for the videos.
Age: 13+. Please state your age if you sound young.
While it says English, you can sing in any language.
Your audition will likely be posted on Youtube. If you don't want it posted, say so, or just omit any of the information that we asked for in rule 3. But you would miss getting scored and feedback for round 1.
Sing a song of your choice without backing music for max 1 minute
Present yourself (optional)
As a judge you are ready to give and discuss your honest opinions about the contestants' performances, whether positive or negative. We try to find a balance between constructive criticism and helpfulness, playful banter and entertainment. The key is simply to be yourself! We want different personalities on the panel.
I will likely be replacing myself for the casting round due to university. So that means 3 new judges are needed at least for the first round, 2 of which will be needed for the entire season. More guest judges may be needed for further rounds, so even if you aren't selected for round 1, you could still be invited at a later time.
To apply, please present yourself and give a sample of your judging by critiquing the below two recordings. Also please let me know your time zone! We'll be doing Discord meetings for recording the show. The judge doesn't necessarily have to be a singer as long as you're suitable in other ways.
Present yourself and tell me what makes you a suitable judge
Give your honest feedback about recording 1
Give your honest feedback about recording 2
