==Format==
Before the show starts recording, potential contestants are scouted by [[Grand Production]] through an audition process. ''Zvezde Granda'' is consisted of around six rounds where contestants sing one or two songs and are judged by the main judging panel, based on their performance. The first round used to be a blind audition, where the singers are judged exclusively based on their vocal performance. If they receive more than a half of the judges' votes, the contestant may choose their future mentor from the judges who voted for them. However, the judges are allowed to decline the mentorship over a contestant. The judging panel can also use the "panic button" to cut the contestant's performance short. In the following rounds, contestants continue performing, now with the help and training from their mentors, solo or against other contestants, and are judged by the other mentors.

Ultimately, the last remaining contestants enter the grand final, where they face the public vote, which decides the season's winner. In past seasons, the final was held in large indoor venues in the region, like the [[Štark Arena|Belgrade Arena]], [[Boris Trajkovski Sports Center]] and [[Zetra Olympic Hall, Sarajevo|Zetra Olympic Hall]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://starkarena.co.rs/lat/event-5167/ |title=Zvezde Grnda - Finale: Štark arena |work=Starkarena.co.rs |access-date=25 December 2022 |language=Sr}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraf.rs/jetset/2225973-finale-zvezda-granda-13-jula-u-sarajevu-video |title=Finale "Zvezda Granda" 13. jula u Sarajevu! |work=Telegraf.rs |date=30 June 2016 |access-date=25 December 2022 |language=Sr}}</ref> The winner of ''Zvezde Granda'' receives a recording and management contract with [[Grand Production]], as well as other rewards, such as an apartment or a car.
