Kicking off with the first round which runs through May 23, each group must choose its most talented member to showcase their skills and represent them in the next round. Round 2 is the live competition, which runs from May 28 – June 7, wherein each selected group representative will perform for votes from the Bigo Live community, which will determine daily winners. The live round will continue until 20 finalists are determined. Between June 10 – June 11 BIGO IDOL Finals will take place, culminating in the crowning of the first BIGO IDOL winner. All top 20 contestants will perform in front of the panel of celebrity judges, after which the top ten, as determined by celebrity judges and community votes, will move on to the final night, where the winner will be selected by the judges’ vote. The BIGO IDOL winner will receive a grand prize of 1,000,000 Beans, with a special Appreciation Box awarded to the winning group.
