Newcomer Debut Programme — Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers about how selection, fees and protection work
The GTB Newcomer Debut Programme launches genuine newcomers into their first lead role. We know aspiring artists are often exploited, so we have built this programme to be transparent, merit-first, and protected by a written contract. Please read these FAQs carefully before applying.
The one thing to know: You never pay to be selected. Selection is on merit alone. A fee applies only after you have received a written offer letter — and even then it is held in a protected escrow account and is refund-protected by contract.

Our merit-first pledge: Payment never influences casting. Selection comes first, on merit; any fee comes only after a written offer; your money is protected; and we promise only what is written in your contract — never fame or income.
