This initiative is an outlet for the youth to express themselves and get recognized for their talent.

The event kicked off with a registration phase where colleges signed up through Red FM’s city WhatsApp numbers. Following this, the auditions are taking place, in over 10 colleges participating in each city. The best acts performed in each college will be selected for the grand finale, which was hosted by Red FM’s dynamic RJs.
