Next Star (Sweden)

Next Star is a Swedish singing competition for youths between the age of 13-19. It was started in 2007 by ICA Maxi in cooperation with Diggiloo. The winner of the contest would perform at the Diggiloo summer tour all over Sweden. The winner is decided by a jury and also by votes from the Swedish people. The surplus of the voting would go to the World Childhood Foundation. Next Star has brought in 1,2 million (SEK) to the foundation.
