MTV Base (DStv Channel 322) is going back on the
road in Nigeria this August to audition thousands of potential new VJs to
represent the youth and music channel. The
channel is on the hunt for a smooth-talking, quick-thinking, music-loving
newcomer with swag and a big personality to become the stand-out new Nigerian
VJ (TV presenter) for the youth and music channel.
For your chance to be the MTV Base star of the future, head down to the 2016 MTV Base VJ Search -
Nigeria auditions for
your chance to impress the judges and win a 2-year contract with MTV Base worth a cool 20 million Naira.
Get through the auditions and you
could be the one lucky winner walking away with the hottest job in
entertainment. The new VJ will become one of the key faces of the music
network, hosting programmes on MTV
Base. The winner will also interview stars, emcee parties and
concerts, walk the red carpet at entertainment events and travel all over the
world representing MTV Base.
Auditions will be held at NAF Conference Centre &
Suites, Abuja (9 August), De Dome,
Enugu (12 August) and the
Classique Event Centre, Lagos (16 August). Doors open at 9:00 am. To register your application please go

MTV Base’s brand new VJ will be following in the
footsteps of MTV Base veteran Ehiz Okoeguale who won the channel’s second Nigerian VJ
search back in 2013, and was transformed overnight from a job-seeker to a bona
fide TV star! Ehiz has subsequently hosted a multitude of MTV Base programmes and
showbiz events, including the Official
Naija Top 10, Word
on the Street, and Real Talk, and interviewed stars from
Lagos to Amsterdam and Hollywood, including artists likeTinie Tempah, Wale, Jidenna, Davido, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage.
“The most
important quality required in an MTV
Base VJ is that they
should have the ability to communicate with and connect to our audience,”
comments Alex Okosi, Senior
Vice President & Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks
(VIMN) Africa. “We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes
contemporary youth culture, with a strong personality, and the energy and
confidence to build their brand and make a long-term career in the
entertainment business.”
