Our method:
Each video performance is assigned to a group of judges outside of the competitor’s own geographical area.

The best videos will be posted on the official website and remain visible for 30 days. The web community will have the opportunity to score the videos and help their favorite artists get to the finals.
Each voter may rate a video only once. Voters will need to register on the official website in order to vote. By the end of this round, the most voted musician in each of the two categories wins the Web Community Prize granting them direct access to the Finals where they will compete with the finalists chosen by the judges.
8.3 The Final
For both the categories, the two musicians (or more in case of equal votes) with the highest score from each group of judges, will have access to the final.
8.4 Jury Prizes
