Foot Locker, leader of style originality, is proud to sponsor the Urban Music Awards‘ newest category, Britain’s Next Urban Superstar.
Synonymous with great music and great fashion, the Urban Music Awards and Foot Locker are on a mission to unveil the next generation of urban music talent in the UK through this exclusive new talent search.
The only strictly urban talent search of its kind to be directly associated with a major awards ceremony, Foot Locker and the UMA’s will be searching for Britain’s Next Urban Superstar via a nationwide talent search from June 2008.
Auditions will be held in major UK cities between June and September 2008. Hopefuls can also audition at exclusive, one-day only, private recording booths at five Foot Locker’s this summer – including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Southampton and Cardiff. A selection of the most talented, and the most entertaining, of these in store auditions will be shown exclusively on www.footlocker.eu.
The successful auditions will qualify for the televised heats, to be broadcast on Flava TV (Sky 357) and Invincible TV online starting from 16th July, 2008.
The winner of the talent search will be presented with the coveted Foot Locker ‘Britain’s Next Urban Superstar’ award at The Urban Music Awards ceremony hosted on 1st November and broadcast on Channel U on 27th December, 2008.
