TELEMUNDO's Sunday night reality show "La Voz Kids" gives viewers the opportunity to witness how the stars of the future are discovered and developed by featuring three stages of the singing competition, including the Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, and Final Phase. During the Blind Auditions, the Coaches decisions are based solely on voice and not on looks. Once the teams are set, the Battle Rounds begin, and the Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their teams. New this season, the Battles Rounds will include a 'Wild Card' component, where the audience will have the opportunity to save one of their favorite contestants per Coach. The winners of the 'Wild Card' will be revealed in the first Gala of the Final Phase. During the Final Phase of the competition, the television audience will continue to vote, and along with the Coaches, decide who will stay in the competition and who will go home. In the end, only one kid is selected by the viewing audience as the winner of "La Voz Kids," receiving a recording contract with Universal Music and grand prize of $50,000. The winner's family will also be awarded a 2016 Nissan Rogue.
