Audition Email Notification for 2022 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 7 Audition Process

As the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) audition online registration starts, I have decided to write on the next step of the audition application process. If you are a DSTV and GOTV user, you can apply to audition for the Big Brother Naija season 7 edition. The registration commenced on 15th May, 2022 and ended on May 30th, 2022.

If you have completed your online registration and have successfully uploaded a 2-minutes video telling Big Brother what you can offer in the show, then you are few steps away from becoming Big Brother Naija season 7 housemate.

Before I continue, note that the Big Brother Naija audition is totally free and you do not need to pay anybody to book a space for you. You will be selected based on the information you provided during the online registration process. Beware of fraudsters as they are only there to take your hard-earned money without providing the services they promise to offer.

For those of you who have complete the online registration, ensure you save your system ID as you will be needing it later. The system ID will be forwarded to your email at the completion of the online registration.

Big Brother will be sending email notification to successful applicants for the second phase of the audition process. The second phase of the audition will require all successfully selected applicants to avail themselves for an online audition on zoom app. This process is quite thesame for last season’s audition which phase two was held online because of the pandemic.

In phase three of the audition process, only Lagos state will be used for the physical audition. Accommodation and feeding will be provided by Big Brother during the course of the physical audition. However, applicants are required to come with their clothes, makeups and basic needs for the physical audition process.

Applicants who did not receive e-mail notification will not be allowed into the audition venue. If you did not receive any email notification, it means your application was not successful and you can try again in subsequent seasons.
