MEO The Search by Samsung Galaxy Z is the new talent hunt adapted to a new reality: it was born digitally and is already a success. The innovative talent show, which promises to find Portugal's next musical talents, had more than 1,200 entries, from municipalities from north to south, as well as from Madeira and the Azores.
During the registration phase, which ended on September 30, the digital campaign registered:
- more than 30 million impressions
- more than 2.2 million views
- 250,000 interactions on social media platforms
The 24 candidates to be chosen will give rise to the final 5 contestants who will be assessed by a jury made up of big names in Portuguese music such as Agir, Bárbara Bandeira, Bárbara Tinoco and Virgul, plus a number of special guests.
All the interaction will be online, broadcast on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and on MEO TV, in position 79, in the Apps area of the TV menu or via the blue button on the remote control. Entries exceeded all expectations and the first phase of the program starts on October 14.
The next stage involves a series of six qualifying rounds with a grand final at the Altice Fórum Braga on November 26. The winner of MEO The Search will have direct access to the main stage of one of the biggest festivals in the country, MEO Marés Vivas, in 2022 and a prize of 15,000 euros, the recording of an EP with the producer Redmojo, one month's use of a SEAT IBIZA with a weekend in a hotel, 12 months of MEO service and the new SAMSUNG Galaxy Z FLIP3 5G.
Altice Portugal's MEO brand has joined this project with the aim of continuing its commitment to music and culture through technology. Altice Portugal's strategy is to be at the side of the Portuguese, with a focus on democratization and equal opportunities, thus promoting a democratic stage, accessible to all, regardless of whether their geography is rural or urban.
Scheduled to open on October 14, MEO The Search has a calendar full of surprises yet to be revealed: the first arrives tomorrow, October 7, with the presentation of the Official MEO The Search Anthem.
