Top Billing and SABC3 have announced the launch of another presenter search to find new talent for the show.
The most recent talent search by the show was in 2007: 8000 hopefuls entered and it was won by Capetonian
Kelly Parkhurst.
Between then and now she's presented on the show, co-written TV scripts and was nominated for a 2008 Cosmopolitan Awesome Woman award.
The prize for the winner of this new search: an intensive presenting course and a three-month contract on the show, with the possibility of it being extended. This is obviously to ensure that the winner has what it takes when it comes to doing the actual job.
Here's everything you need to know if you want to go for it:
Important questions to answer "Yes" to:Are you older than 18?
Do you have style, a passion for fashion and a love for all things glamorous?
If so, you're on the right track.
