Your Face Sounds Familiar is the Greek version of the international reality television franchise Your Face Sounds Familiar, developed by Endemol. The show premiered in 14 April 2013 on ANT1.

Format

The show consists of twelve live shows, where ten celebrities (singers and actors) try to incarnate various stars of the Greek and worldwide music industry. The contestants are evaluated by the judges of the show, the audience and the other contestants. The judges have to evaluate the contestants each live from 3 to 12 with 12 being the judge's favorite of the night. Each contestant gives five extra points to one of the other contestants, who was their favorite of the night. The judges' score is combined with the five extra points and that final score is combined with the audience's voting to determine the winner of the night. No one will be eliminating, but the winner will be according to the total score of each live. However the winner of each live show will give the money collected during the night from the audience's voting to a charity of their choice.[1]
