Here's Your Chance to Be Featured in a Wicked Music Video—and Meet the Stars
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will personally pick the three winning pairs.
Published on Sep 9, 2025
(SPOT.ph) If there’s one thing we
love to brag about as a nation, it’s that practically every Filipino can sing. Now you and a friend have the chance to prove it—and maybe even meet the cast of Wicked while
you’re at it.
Starting September 15, 2025, Universal Pictures Philippines
will roll out Awiting Wicked: For Good, a nationwide search for the
best Filipino duets of "For Good," the most iconic ballad from the musical. This is the second iteration of the contest, following last year's search for renditions of "Defying Gravity."
Entries must be uploaded on TikTok, and from there, Wicked director Jon M. Chu and lead stars Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba) and Ariana Grande (Glinda) will personally pick three winning pairs, which will be announced a week later on October 13. Prizes include starring in the official music video of "For Good," an all-expenses-paid trip to Singapore, and a meet-and-greet with the cast of Wicked: For Good.
How to join "Awiting Wicked: For Good" singing contest
The contest is open to all Filipino citizens aged 18 and above, currently residing in the Philippines, with a government-issued ID.
The mechanics are simple enough: Grab your best friend (or really any friend with the vocal prowess for it), record a duet of For Good, and upload it to TikTok between September 15 and October 5. It should go without saying that the use of autotune or AI-altered vocals is not allowed. Make sure to set your account to public, post with the hashtag #AwitingWickedForGood, and tag @UniversalPicsPH in the caption for it to count!

For those without the right equipment or setup at home, don't give up just yet.
Universal Pictures has teamed up with SM Malls to provide audition booths from September 19 to October 5. The booths will be available in SM Mall of Asia, SM Lanang, SM City Iloilo, and SM Seaside Cebu, making it easier for aspiring singers from different parts of the country to take part. You'll still need to upload this duet on TikTok following the same instructions though.
The timing is all tied to the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good, the second installment of the two-part adaptation, which is set to hit Philippine cinemas on November 19.
