The road to being the Lux Channel i Superstar is not easy. More than 10,000 girls around Bangladesh apply every year and the initial auditions are very competitive due to the large number of applicants. Once the lucky few are chosen, they are sent to live for 3 months in a "Boot camp" where various training programmes are held every day. Each season of Lux Channel i Superstar consists of 8-10 episodes and starts with 20 contestants. The contestants are judged weekly on their overall appearance, participation in challenges, and best shot from that week's photo shoot. Every week, single or multiple contestants are eliminated, though in some rare cases no elimination was given by the judging panel. Many big fashion brands are associated with the show as either costume or makeup partners.
