The Voice Kids (Polish TV series)

The Voice Kids is a Polish reality and talent show that premiered on January 1, 2018, on the TVP 2 television network. The Voice Kids is a part of the internationally syndicated show The Voice and based on the reality singing competition launched in the Netherlands as The Voice Kids. The show was created by Dutch television producer John de Mol.

Format
There are four phases in the competition. Stage one is the blind auditions; stage two is the battle rounds, stage three is the sing off, and stage four is the final live performance. Contestants are aged eight to fifteen (from season 4 contestants are aged eight to fourteen).

The rules of the competition are similar to those of The Voice of Poland. During the blind auditions, each coach selects and mentors 18 contestants. In the battle stage, participants are divided into three groups and challenge participants from other teams. Each battle results in one winner, but coaches do not name a loser. Battle stage winners go to the sing-off stage where the coaches select nine finalists—three from each team. The nine finalists perform live and the winner is selected by the viewing audience using SMS voting. The winner receives a scholarship and the possibility to release a song with Universal Music Polska. The Voice Kids is produced by Rochstar.

Selection process
For the first season, the blind auditions began August 19, 2017, and concluded on August 23, 2017. Children who auditioned were between eight and fifteen years of age.

Coaches
The original coaches for this talent show were Tomson and Baron of Afromental, Edyta Górniak, and Dawid Kwiatkowski. Górniak did not return for the second season and was replaced by Cleo. All coaches from second season returned for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth seasons. On July 26, 2023, it was announced that Natasza Urbańska would replace Dawid Kwiatkowski in the seventh season of the show.
