After the resounding success of the hugely popular MasterChef Australia (and 32 other countries), the peops at M-Net have decided it is time to bring it to South Africa – and not they’re on the search to find the contestants who will be in the running to be South Africa’s first
M-Net’s Channel Head Pierre Cloete says that the entry process has been made as efficient as possible: “The MasterChef series has proven to be so popular around the world and with M-Net viewers that we expect a lot of interest in the show. As such, we’ve tried to keep the entry process for wannabe contestants as easy as possible. We have introduced a simple pre-entry mechanism. All that contestants need to do is fill out their entry forms as accurately as possible, and wait for our notification with more details about auditions. This will allow them a fast track through the registration process on their audition day. After that it’s purely down to the cooking!”
You can pre-enter online now until the 14th of November by visiting www.mnet.co.za. Just follow the MasterChef links and you could be in the running. You can also enter by completing the entry forms in YOU, Huisgenoot or Drum magazines and follow.
MasterChef South Africa will be holding open auditions in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town this December at the following venues:
JOHANNESBURG: Saturday, 3 December at Monte Casino
CAPE TOWN: Saturday, 10 December at The Cullinan, Southern Sun Hotel
DURBAN: Saturday, 17 December at the Sun Coast Hotel and Casino
What will you be expected to do? You will be asked to prepare a cold dish, which will be tasted by a member of the MasterChef SA professional preliminary judging panel. There are certain requirements for the dish as stipulated below:
- One must bring all products in an insulated cooler to maintain the cold chain.
- Products not suitably chilled will result in the judges not tasting your dish; which could mean disqualification.
- One must transport all food products in plastic containers.
- Glass containers will not be allowed in the competition area.
- Present your dish on a plain white plate that you have brought with you.
- NO actual cooking is allowed; the dish must be a cold dish.
- All that is required of you is to plate the food on the dish and then present to the judges within the time limit given.
Contestants must also be able to make themselves available for possible callback auditions the following day.
