"One Direction will help learn Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s new online talent search The You Generation later this week with a live-stream interview. The X Factor boyband have teamed up with Cowell to promote what is being billed as &amp;quot;the world&amp;#039;s first global audition channel&amp;quot;. Watch Cowell&amp;#039;s interview about The You Generation below:      Cowell&amp;#039;s project will take place in 26 countries and will allow the public to show off their skills and talent simply by uploading a video clip. The contest will run for 52 weeks with 26 fortnightly contests. The talent can range from make-up artists to style gurus, chefs to vocalists and will be judged by Syco execs. Finalists will be chosen every two weeks, and a new winner will be announced every second Friday. Each winner will get a cash prize. You Generation goes live on Wednesday, March 20 with the One Direction live stream. Former T4 and Love Shaft host Will Best will front the project, introducing behind-the-scenes videos from inside the House of Syco, the best and funniest auditions and the latest news on The You Generation. Cowell and Best will announce the bi-weekly contest categories via Skype. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
