To take part, school singing groups are invited to submit audition videos of the group performing a song of inspiration.
The top 10 finalists will be chosen by an independent panel after which the final selection of the Top three will be made by Pharrell Williams himself.

They should film the group performing a song of their choice song, load the song on YouTube and send their full entry (along with all their details) to singwithus@woolworths.co.za.
