As with Big Brother this year who found many new and beautiful ways for them to make money, (mobile phone auctions, mobile phone quiz and more) the Idol team have been racking their brains for new hair brained schemes to increase their empire.

Here's the first new idea... Idol for kiddies aged between 5 and 13.

Are you a kid with a burning musical talent who just can't wait to show your stuff on the Australian Idol stage?

Well wait no more because here's the perfect competition for you! To turn you into the hottest new child performer in Australia.

In true Idol tradition, our producers and judges will scour the nation with only one thing in mind - making you a star! And the ultimate prize - the chance to perform on the biggest show of the year - the 2005 Australian Idol Grand Final.

For more information on the new and hottest way to exploit children, the media and the consumer culture check out the Official Idol Website's information on the program.
