Description

Shine is a South African reality singing competition produced by Urban Brew Studios in which contestants from around the country audition to compete in weekly eliminations for the chance to win a two-record recording deal with a gospel label.

The series premiered on DStv's ONE Gospel channel on 8 August, 2010. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

Season 2 premiered on ONE Gospel on Sunday 4 September 2011, at 18h00. New episodes broadcast weekly. There are 13 episodes in the second season.

Season 2 Repeats

Mondays: 08h00
Wednesdays: 21h00
Thursdays: 11h00

Season 1

Join Shine presenter Zanele Mbokazi as she travels to four regions across South Africa to find the ultimate winner. She is joined by the Shine judges: Lionel Petersen, Deborah Fraser, Neville D and Abe Sibiya.

The judges choose two finalists from each region (12 in total) who travel to the ONE Gospel studios in Jozi to participate in the knockout rounds.

Performers then try to impress in performance shows on Sundays - they need to impress the judges and studio audience to stay in the competition.

Three finalists are eliminated at the end of each performance episode and in the final episode, judges and the studio audience vote for the overall winner from the last remaining three, as they compete for the grand prize: a two-record album deal and the chance to shine.

The regional episodes also feature the most beautiful sights and sounds from across the region giving viewers at home an opportunity to explore and discover our beautiful country from the comfort of their homes.

The first season was won by Peter Lengweng, who won a two-year record deal from Southstone Records and released his debut album, entitled "Igama Elisha", in July 2011.

Season 2

ONE Gospel's Shine talent search is back. Join new Shine presenter Fezile Makhanya as he travels to four regions across South Africa to find the ultimate winner.

He is joined by new judges Liesl Penniken from Jamali, actor Tshepo Maseko and former Gospel Gold presenter Steven Molakeng.

The first eight episodes of the show feature the community auditions and show all the joy, drama, tears and praise that happen at such emotive events.

The auditions kicked off in Mamelodi, Pretoria on 4 August and the crew traveled to Soweto, Durban and finally Cape Town.

The regional episodes also feature the most beautiful sights and sounds from across the region giving viewers at home an opportunity to explore and discover our beautiful country from the comfort of their homes.

In the final episodes we follow the nine finalists on their journey of self-discovery as they compete for the grand prize: a two-record album deal and the chance to shine.

The judges choose two finalists from each region - eight in total - plus a wild card contestant who travels to the ONE Gospel studios in Johannesburg to participate in the knockout rounds.

Every Sunday perfomers need to impress judges and the studio to stay in the competition.

Finalists are eliminated at the end of each episode and in the final episode, judges and the studio audience vote for the overall winner.
