There will be roving cameras interviewing contestants, their families and supporters inside and outside the audition venues, so dress to impress for your NBC prime-time debut. If possible, you should arrive in the outfit or costume you plan to wear for your audition.

If you are selected to move on in the competition, you will be asked to wear the same outfit for our celebrity judges.

DO NOT wear LOGOs of any kind, including sports teams, designer names, or company logos. Contestants, friends and family members wearing logos will be asked to cover or remove the articles of clothing.

As part of the show, we will shoot several group shots with everyone, including a welcome to each city, so be prepared to spend some time outside. We suggest you wear layers should the weather be cold, but please, when possible, try not to wear big coats, scarves and hats because they tend to cover your face. Favor brighter colors over drab dark colors and ask your family and friends to do the same. This is your chance to stand out.
