Orange unsignedAct, Channel 4's talent show about real talent is nearing the end of its search for the best unsigned act in the UK!

It's Britain's coolest and most credible new music showcase, where only artists who write and perform their own songs can apply. At stake is an incredible record deal and cash advance.

Hosted by Alex Zane, the search is led by Blur's Alex James, Lauren Laverne and Universal Music's Simon Gavin, each week the judges have been joined by a celebrity guest judge from the world of music as they sort the brilliant from the bogstandard.

The auditions whittled the acts down to our finalists and these top acts went on a national tour where they played gigs alongside big name acts and were further whittled down by the judges.

Only one act can eventually scoop the prize and during the live finals in January in London where the acts will pull out all the stops and viewers will decide by phone vote which act will have their dreams made true and win the coveted record contract, they'll need your support! Fancy joining us for the moment when the next Ting Tings or Amy Winehouse signs on the dotted line?

If you would like to join us for the live final in London on Sunday 25th January, then apply now! To find out which headline bands will be joining our finalists, press the red button!
