Selection process
In a series of steps, the show selects the eventual winner out of many tens of thousands of contestants.
Contestant eligibility
The eligible age-range for contestants is currently thirteen to twenty-one years old.[5][6] In season one, there was no age limit. Since season one was a singing competition, groups could audition with a maximum number of five members.
Auditions
The mentors were tasked to roam around the country and scour different provinces and cities to find their bets for the competition. This is the first level of the competition wherein the mentors will invade their assigned audition sites.
The mentors will be the guide of the protégés. They will groom and help the contestants to stay in the competition. A mentor's role is make his or her protégé shine. They will be aided by two Audition Masters in searching for their protégés. These two audition masters are renowned starmaker Jojie Dingcong and
In season 2, the audition mechanics were basically the same except the audition sites rose from 10 key cities to 15. After the city auditions, Protégé also gave the hopefuls an alternative way to audition via online.
Face Off Round
Since the show shifted from a singing competition to an artista search, the selection process from Face Off Round to the finals made some major changes.
In season 1, after the provincial auditions, the mentors are left with three protégés each, completing the Top 30 protégés. This is considered to be the Semi - Final Round. Top 30 protégés competed with each other where individual acts performs in front of the three judges. The judges then tell the mentors which of the three should be their protégé that they will pit against the other mentors' protégés. Thus, in the end of the Face Off round, every mentor will only have one protégé each. There will only be ten protégés competing in the next round.[8]
In season 2, there were eight shortlisted contestants per mentor with an overall total of 40 contestants. These 40 aspiring protégés once again faced their mentors for a further judgement. After that part, the mentors decided who will be their final 4 protégés — 2 boys and 2 girls. After their decision, the 40 aspirants were reduced to 20 protégés and these 20 were revealed during the show's first gala night signalling that they are their mentors' official protégés.
Finals
The protégés from season 1 represented their audition city while in season 2, the four protégés represented their region.
Season 1 was broadcast in prime time from CenterStage, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay, in front of a live studio audience. The finals in season one lasted ten weeks. The ranking of votes was being revealed every after one finalist was done performing. However, the final ranking would not be revealed but the bottom group. During the first weeks, there was a bottom four but eventually it was reduced to bottom three and bottom two finalists. This method had been repeatedly done until three protégés remain. The finale of season one occurred at CenterStage in SM Mall of Asia.
In season 2, the gala nights were held at Studio 7 of GMA Network. The top twenty protégés were reduced to top fifteen during the second gala night. The mentors eliminated one protégé each from them totaling to five protégés. It was based from the performances of their bottom two which is from the decision of the judges during the protégés' performances from the previous week. The text votes was introduced in the fourth gala night. The finale of season two was held at the GMA Network Studio 7.

The pilot episode of Inside Protégé aired on July 23, 2012, and the first gala night was held on August 5, 2012.
During the 5th gala night (aka Protégé Shock!), there were twists that were revealed: First, there was a multiple elimination leaving the 10 remaining protégés in the competition. Right after the results, the second twist was announced that the mentors have to keep only one protégé to stay under their guidance. Because of the multiple elimination, the mentors were not able to decide right away and instead, they told everyone that they will do the task the next week — resulting to the suspension of the third twist. The third twist was the mentors had to choose from the other "mentor less protégés" except to their original protégé.
