Organisers of Star Quest have revealed that they recorded, "a huge turnout of contestants" on Tuesday, March 22, at the Lagos audition for this year's edition of the competition. The audition was held at the National Theatre, Iganmu.

"The contestants, made up of young adults of varying ages, turned up in their thousands to partake in the screening process that would grant them access into the musical competition proper," noted a release.
It added that, "while some singers amongst the contestants rendered songs cutting across Rhythm and Blues, Pop, Soul, and Gospel genres, others dished out rap lyrics from both foreign and local hip-hop songs.
"There were also a good number of instrumentalists who were tested on their ability to play a range of musical instruments that include the drum set, trumpet and guitar."

Judges, comprising Freeze, Paul Play, and KC from KC Presh, a one time winner in the show, reportedly "had a challenging task screening hopefuls and separating those gifted in music from the untalented lot."
Since its debut in 2002, Star Quest has produced several winners including KC Presh, D'Accord, D'Jewels, Diamonds, The Pulse, and Jukebox.
