The race to crown the next Australian Idol 2025 is officially on! After weeks of powerhouse performances, emotional eliminations, and incredible talent, we’re down to the final stretch.
From thousands of hopefuls belting their hearts out at auditions, the competition has been whittled down to the top contenders, and now, one will be named the winner of Australian Idol 2025.
For the first part of the season, the ball was in the court of this year’s judging panel — Australian Idol OG and music legend Marcia Hines, ARIA Award-winning superstar Amy Shark, and radio king Kyle Sandilands. And the competition has been nothing short of fierce.
But now, the power is in your hands! Australia will vote to decide who walks away with the title of Australian Idol, the cash prize, and a life-changing recording contract.
So, if you want to be part of Idol history and help crown the next big Aussie music sensation, here’s everything you need to know about voting.
How does Australian Idol voting work?
Ever since we hit the Top 10, it’s been up to Australia to decide! Each week, fans across the country have had the chance to vote for their favourite contestant, keeping them in the competition and inching them closer to the grand prize.
When it comes to the final showdown, every single vote will count because the winner will be determined entirely by public vote.
Who can you vote for?
We’re officially at the grand final stage, with just three contestants left in the running. They are Marshall Hamburger, Gisella Colletti and Iilysh Retalick.
