Tusker Project Fame is an East African reality-singing competition show sponsored by Tusker Lager.[1] The show is similar to American Idol and Project Fame South Africa, musicians compete to win cash and a one year record deal with Universal Music Group South Africa.[2]

Tusker Project Fame has aired 5 seasons.[3] To be eligible to participate, one must be at least 21 years of age and must be able to sing and perform or sing and play and instrument.[4]
