The rules of the Program have been the same since the first edition. Each of the eight participants draws songs that they will perform in the next episode. And since then, they have had a titanic job ahead of them. In this show, it is not enough to sing the same way – what matters here is a 1:1 representation of the character. You have to learn to perfectly imitate every movement, gesture, and capture the same intonation and voice sound. In addition, there is a whole team of specialists in make-up, design and sewing of outfits, preparation of set design… The whole thing is a huge undertaking, with hundreds of committed people working on it. And the goal is always the same – to make the best show.
“Your Face Sounds Familiar” is a unique program in which the participants do not drop out after each episode. Throughout the entire edition, they are assessed by a group of jurors, led by the irreplaceable Małgorzata Walewska, a world-famous opera singer, from the first edition. Competitors award each other additional points, sometimes decisive for the podium. Only in the semi-final episode, the best four are selected and fight for the victory, i.e. the golden face, in the final. Fortunately, there are no losers in this show. Each participant who wins the episode decides to which foundation he or she wants to donate the winnings in the form of a check for PLN 10,000. zloty. The prize of PLN 100,000 is also donated to charity. The finalist is honored to be able to decide which foundation he or she will allocate this considerable sum of money to.
In this special season, viewers will decide who will win. For the first time in the history of the program, voting will take place via text message.
The program will invariably be hosted by the duo: Maciej Dowbor and Maciej Rock.
