Previously, the public voted for the contestants.Audiences at each of the regional performances will determine their favourite musicians, and judges will also pick based on the vocals. The voting counts for 40 per cent and the remaining 60 per cent will be given out by the judges. Judges include Kenya-based Burundian star Kidumu and Aaron Ntunga, a renowned Rwandan music producer. The other two judges, according to organisers, will be announced later as negotiations to bring them on board are still underway.During the competition, each contestant will receive Rwf1 million as a wage by Bralirwa, and the winner will get a Rwf24 million. Rwf6 million will be handed to him/ her in cash, while the rest will come in form of a salary and support in other activities, including an album launch. Guma Guma is a music contest which brings together professional musicians, who compete to become the Primus Guma Guma SuperStar. The first edition was held in 2011 and was won by Tom Close, while in the second edition, King James was crowned the best artiste.
