Lux Channel i Superstar or Lux Super Star is a Bangladeshi leading talent hunt and television reality show that airs on Channel i. It is Bangladesh’s ultimate talent show for passionate young women ready to shine in the world of beauty & glamour. Aspiring actresses, singers, and models compete on the show for a chance to launch their careers. The champion gets the chance to be the "Face of Lux Bangladesh" and is awarded a brand new car, trophy, film contract and Tk. 10 lakh. The first runner-up award is Tk. 5 lakh while the second runner-up gets Tk. 3 lakh. The competition is held by a joint effort of Channel i and Unilever Bangladesh Limited.[1] The competition was launched in 2005.[2]

Format

The road to being the Lux Channel i Superstar is not easy. More than 10,000 girls around Bangladesh apply every year and the initial auditions are very competitive due to the large number of applicants. Once the lucky few are chosen, they are sent to live for 3 months in a "Boot camp" where various training programmes are held every day.[3] Each season of Lux Channel i Superstar consists of 8-10 episodes and starts with 20 contestants. The contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, and best shot from that week's photo shoot. Every week, single or multiple contestants are eliminated, though in some rare cases no elimination was given by the judging panel. Many big fashion brands are associated with the show as either costume or makeup partners.[4]
