The series was developed in 2007 by ICA Maxi in cooperation with Diggiloo, and aired between 2008 and 2010. The winner of the contest would perform at the Diggiloo summer tour all over Sweden. The winner is decided by a jury and also by votes from the Swedish people. The surplus of the voting would go to the World Childhood Foundation.
