According to the show’s format, the winners will get a £1 million recording contract with the record label Syco Music. The winner will receive a monetary prize, but most of the funds will go toward marketing and recording expenditures. The victorious contestant’s record gets published in time for the UK’s Christmas number one chart fight at the end of the year.
In the meantime, Simon Cowell’s next project for ITV will be the musical quiz program Walk The Line. Musical artists take to the stage to perform, and they are judged by a panel of judges led by Simon Cowell.
