The two-vote system

"We will judge your talent but your backstory will be equally as important."

Vote 1

Judges score your talent

Industry A&Rs, producers and artists rate your live performance — vocals, stage presence, songwriting, originality. No favors. No politics. Just craft.

  • Live, on-stage performance
  • Scored by 20+ industry pros
  • Real, written feedback
Vote 2

Fans score your social media

Your likes, follows and shares on your campaign posts become your second score. The bigger the buzz, the higher you climb. Start rallying your audience the day you apply.

  • Likes + follows = points
  • Public leaderboard
  • Every share moves you up
