The applicant’s responses to the questions posed during the Casting Call and during the interviews in Los Angeles will be judged by personnel from THE PRICE IS RIGHT based on the following criteria: clarity of answer, personality, and enthusiasm.
If the Producers select you as a semi-finalist, you must be willing to travel to Los Angeles at some point between October 1, 2024 and February 28, 2025 (as scheduled by the Producers) and the dates will be coordinated with the other semi-finalist chosen from the Casting Call in your area.

Each Grand Prize Winner will be named during the filming of the episode they attend and asked to “Come on Down” to contestant row to participate as a contestant in that episode. You would still have to have a successful bid on contestant row to be called to the stage to participate in a pricing game.
