Organisers of the Big Brother Naija reality show have announced that auditions for its 11th season will be conducted physically across three major Nigerian cities, marking a return to in-person screening.
According to a statement shared on Instagram on Saturday, registration for interested applicants opened on May 16 and will run until May 20.
The organisers stated that participation is free and open only to Nigerian citizens aged 21 and above who possess valid identification. They also noted that registration will close once the maximum number of applicants is reached.
Selected candidates will proceed to physical auditions scheduled to hold between May 22 and May 24 in Lagos, Abuja, and Enugu.
The move signals a return to the show’s earlier audition format, after several recent seasons adopted virtual and hybrid screening processes to widen accessibility.
The most recent edition of the show concluded on October 5, 2025, with Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, emerging as the winner after outperforming 28 finalists to claim the grand prize.
