Twoja twarz brzmi znajomo (Polish: Your Face Sounds Familiar) is a Polish talent show broadcast by Polsat that is based on the Spanish version of the series. The show involves eight celebrities and/or artists (singers, actors and television personalities) portraying various iconic singers in order to win a cash prize for a charity of their choice.
Format
The show challenges celebrities (singers and actors) to impersonate different music artists every week, which are chosen by the show's "Randomiser". Afterwards they are judged by the panel of celebrity judges. The 'randomiser' can choose any older or younger artist available in the machine, or even a singer of the opposite sex, or a deceased singer. The winner of each episode wins 10,000 PLN, and the winner of the whole show wins 100,000 PLN.
Voting
The contestants are awarded points from the judges (and each other) based on their singing and dance routines. The points go from 1 to 7 and 10, with 10 being the judge's favorite of the night. After that, each contestant gives 5 points to a fellow contestant of their choice (known as "Bonus" points) 1 to 17, from 21, and from 18 to 20 editions awards 4 points. The judges' score is combined with the "Bonus" points.
