Regi does not choose the winner alone. In the jury he will be joined by Jaap Reesema and Olivia Trappeniers, with whom he scored several monster hits, and by Lester Williams, Regi's right-hand man for many years. Camille Dhont is ready for the candidates next to the podium with tons of tips and extra mental support. The candidates first audition on the roof of Fort Napoleon in Ostend. Those who receive the green light from the jury can perform the song again on Qmusic and live from the Q-Beach House. The six best candidates then follow an intense trajectory on their way to the final.
