The contestants must press the "Iconizer" at the end of every Sunday episode, in which they reveal the icon they have to impersonate in the following week, and a playback of the song assigned to them being played after they press it.
They are then judged a panel of celebrity judges called "The Jury". The contestants are awarded 4 to 8 stars by the jury. The total score of each contestant is counted by summing the stars from judges. In case of a tie, the judges will choose the week's winner.
Whoever is at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the each show receives a cash prize for themselves and a charity of their choice.
All contestants then advance after 13 or 15 weeks of competition into the finale called "The Grand Showdown". The contestants will personally select the icon they wish to pick for the said event. The winner is then decided by a score composed of the total stars from the jury and the votes cast by the public.
