What happens

The X Factor is a New Zealand television reality music competition, originating from the original British series and based on the Australian The X Factor production format. The show began in 2013 and was open to anyone aged 14 and over. The winner was signed to Sony Music Entertainment New Zealand. The contestants were split into the show's four traditional categories: Boys, Girls, Over 25s and Groups. From the second series, bands were also able to enter in the group category. The show was cancelled in 2017, with MediaWorks confirming that the format rights to the show had expired. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
