Instagram auditions for #RisingStar are now open! Here's how to enter:

Aspiring solos, duos, and vocal groups (that are up to five members) from all music genres can submit audition videos via Instagram Direct starting now! “Rising Star” premieres SUNDAY, JUNE 22 on ABC. Singers are encouraged to visit www.abc.com/risingstar to find information on the nationwide in-person auditions, and for more information on the audition process. Through the website, you can register to audition in person, audition online, or nominate a friend or family member to audition. In-person auditions begin Saturday, March 29th.

“Rising Star” completely reinvents the traditional singing competition as the audience has the final say in real time, for the first time ever. The show follows a group of aspiring singers as they perform live. During the performances, viewers vote in real time through an App to determine if the singer will advance in the competition. If the voting reaches a certain threshold, the performer moves on. In addition, the performer can see how the voting is going throughout the performance, so the feedback is immediate and dramatic.

“Rising Star” is from Keshet DCP, the joint venture between Keshet International (KI), the global distribution and production arm of Keshet Media Group, and DC Media, the parent company of Dick Clark productions (DCP).
