“The search is on for South Africa’s most colourful characters. We will be looking for individuals who are unique, distinctive and will add colour to the movie. MAQ is very excited to be launching this project and providing South Africans with the opportunity to appear in a movie,” says Jacqueline Jacobs, marketing and sales director for MAQ Washing Powder.

Auditions start in February and the MAQ Roadshow team will be traveling around the country in search of individuals with the potential to be one of the five actors for the roles. People can also enter via WhatsApp: 083 382 3854 (T’s & C’s Apply). MAQaMovie is an upliftment initiative, so only people who are not currently employed as actors may enter. These individuals will go through to the next audition phase where the film selection team will be looking for five different characters who will add colour to the story.

The auditions will take place from February to March in various provinces including Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga and North West Province. The finals will happen in Johannesburg.

Requirements for Entry

- No one currently employed as an actor may enter;
- Entrants must be over 18 years of age, be South African citizens and must have a valid ID document; and
- Entrants must be willing to be photographed and interviewed for MAQ publicity purposes.

Auditions begin on Friday, 13 February in Gauteng before travelling through South Africa and ending off on Sunday, 22 March in the North West.
