The Voice of Ireland is set to return for its fourth series and organisers are now urging budding singers to submit their demos for a chance to appear on the show.

Hopefuls can submit an MP3, Youtube clip, video, soundcloud link - or just about any other digital format that showcases your singing ability - via The Voice's website.

The window for submissions officially opened yesterday and applicants have until Sunday August 31 to get their names in.

The show reels in average weekly ratings of over 600,000 viewers and the overall winner will land a recording contract with Universal Studios.
