RAGA, NOV 1:

Auditions for the second edition of Kamle Idol will begin at Ligu village on November 12, with the organising committee announcing the schedule and venues at a press conference held at the Raga Press Club on Sunday.

Addressing the media, Kamle Idol Season 2 chairman Topu Banor said the competition was being organised under the aegis of the Nyishi Art and Culture Welfare Society (NACWS), seven years after the inaugural edition.

He said auditions would be held across five zones, beginning at Ligu village on November 12 and concluding at Dollungmukh on November 15. A mega audition featuring selected participants from all five zones will subsequently be held at Raga on November 19.

The organisers announced that the top five finalists would get an opportunity to feature in an audio album sponsored by Er. Tare Murtem, president of the Kamle Employees’ Welfare Association (KEWA). They would also receive direct entry into the upcoming Nyishi Idol competition.

The committee has also introduced a revised selection process, discontinuing the earlier voting pattern to ensure a fairer opportunity for talented singers, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The competition is open to participants aged between 13 and 35 years. Further information regarding the auditions and competition will be shared through the organisers’ official social media platforms.
