The Gigstarter competition is divided in two categories: Artist of the Year (bands, duos, solo artists) and the second category with the DJ of the Year 2021. The process is exactly the same for each category.
Different steps of the 2021 competition:
Subscription period: Artists can subscribe for the competition from November 4th until November 14th 2021.
Preselection step: A jury makes a shortlist out of all the artists that entered the contest. The shortlist will be announced on November 15th 2021.
Voting period: From November 16th to November 27th at 12am, fans and followers can vote for their favourite artists from the shortlist. To vote, people should go to the Gigstarter profile of the artist or DJ they support.
Top 3 finalists: In each category, the first 3 artists who received the most votes, will have to record a ten-minute performance video and send it to the Gigstarter team before December 8th. The external jury will choose the two winners among the 3 finalists of each category.
Final: online event: The top 3 finalists of each category will be invited to the online event on December 1th when the winners will be announced and interviewed. Their recorded performances will also be broadcasted. This livestream will be accessible for everyone.
The winner, chosen by the expert jury, holds the title of Gigstarter Artist of the Year 2021. The Artist Of The Year will win a 1000 euros cheque and the DJ Of The Year will win a 500 euros cheque.
Every artist who has a public profile on Gigstarter and who has the possibility to record a live video with his/her own original music for 10 minutes maximum, can participate in the competition. Artists of the Year finalists from previous years are excluded from the competition.

Everyone can vote from November 16th till November 27th at midday. On this date, the top 3 finalists of each category will be announced.
People can vote only one time on every artist. For instance, you can vote once for every contestant. If we suspect any form of fraud, we have the right to remove those votes.
From November 28th, you will have until December 8th at midday to send to the Gigstarter team your ten-minute live video. Only your own songs are allowed, no covers, even for DJs. Be really careful on the sound and video quality, you can also record it from a cool venue if it is allowed. The jury has the right to disqualify any finalists if the rules were not respected.
Once the Gigstarter team receives your video, it will be transferred to the jury who will make a decision and announce the winners during the final.
