BBNaija 11 Is Here! Auditions Open May 22

According to information released by the organisers, registration for prospective housemates will open on May 16 and close on May 20. Only applicants who complete the registration within the specified period will be eligible to participate in the next phase of the selection process.

The organisers stated that the audition is free of charge and open exclusively to individuals who are at least 21 years old and possess a valid means of identification.

They also disclosed that available slots are limited, noting that the registration portal may be shut ahead of schedule once the maximum number of applicants has been reached.

Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails inviting them to attend physical auditions scheduled to take place from May 22 to May 24 in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu.

The decision to return to in-person auditions marks a departure from the online and hybrid formats used in recent seasons, restoring the traditional audition process that characterised the show’s early editions.

Big Brother Naija remains one of Africa’s most watched reality television shows, offering contestants the opportunity to compete for fame and life-changing prizes.

The most recent season was won by Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, who emerged victorious on October 5, 2025, after outperforming 28 other contestants to claim the grand prize of ₦150 million.
