Today, 31st August 2020 marks the closing date for securing application forms for Housemates Salone Season 2. Interested persons who may want to secure application forms are advised to do so before offices are officially closed down.
Application forms are going for a price of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Leones (Le150, 000) and could be secured by simply going to #AfricellSL or #AYVMediaEmpire offices across the country.
They can also be secured via online at www.africell.sl or www.ayvnews.com from the comfort of wherever you are, in or out of Sierra Leone. Payments for forms can be made through #AfriMoney on 088201020.
This year’s Show is offering the mouth-watering star prize ofTwo Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le 250M) plus a round trip to Dubai. Indeed, this is an opportunity for any young person, who will emerge as the ultimate winner, to become a millionaire and be financially empowered to forge ahead in life.
A ‘fast track’ for those in the diaspora, in terms of application, is available on line. Interested persons can apply on line through Africell and AYV websites; do their videos and send them to the judges on line. Interviews will be conducted online.
Also, for the benefit of those in the diaspora who may want to participate in the show they may contact the following: www.africell.sl or www.ayvnews.com.
One major requirement is for all applicants to do their two minutes videos and send them to the judges on line stating who they are, where they are coming from and the talents they possess.
Next in line after today, will be an audition which will commence early September this year and will go on until the 21st September 2020. During the audition 40 finalists will be chosen who will then battle for the final 20 through another form of audition. The final 20 competent applicants, who successfully go through the audition, will enter the House on the 14th October 2020.
The Show is slated in such a way that when the Housemates enter the House on the 14th October 2020 the more votes a particular Housemate secures from viewers, in and out of the country, will determine how long he or she will stay in the House.
It must be noted that the Africell number through which members of the public could vote for their favourite Housemates will be announced in due course.
Interestingly, during a particular stage of the Show, based on the percentage of votes scored by a particular Housemate will also determine if he or she will be evicted from the House. Evictions will continue until the ultimate winner emerges. But one good thing is that for each day a Housemate resides in the House, he or she is entitled to One Hundred Thousand Leones (Le100, 000).
All the episodes of the Show will be broadcast live, on a 24 hours basis, on AYV Television Channel 34.
Many have intimated this medium that they are eagerly awaiting the commencement of the Show and whenever time permits they will swiftly switch on to AYV TV Channel 34, stay glued in order not to miss out on the fun that the show will definitely exude.
Housemates Salone is all about Youth Empowerment. When the successful Housemates are in the House they will be assigned to perform certain tasks that will shape their characters, they will be availed the opportunity to learn new skills, improve on existing ones. They will also be emotionally tested, afforded the space to find panacea to certain human problems and do a host of other things.
Furthermore, the Housemates will benefit from widespread exposure as the Show will be watched near and far. Talents will be spotted and vistas of opportunities could be opened as some of the Housemates would be earmarked to become Brand Ambassadors, movie artists, models etc.
Some people may be having reservations as to whether it is apt to stage the show when we have the coronavirus in our midst. To allay such a fear, the organizers have put all the necessary modalities in place to ensure that all the Housemates that will be entering the House are coronavirus free, that precautionary measures are observed and the House is kept safe.
As the build-up to this interesting Reality TV Show continues to gain momentum many are eagerly awaiting very fun-packed episodes that will generate heated discussions in many circles.
From what this medium has so far gathered it seems as if a very entertaining Reality TV Show is in the offing that will change the lives of the Housemates and take the entertainment industry to a higher level. Don’t wait to be told. Make a date with Housemates Salone Season 2, the Last Standing Couple with the theme, “Quarantine Drama”.
