Gigstarter Artist of the Year is an annual competition since 2014. People can subscribe for the competition from 18th September until the 30th September 2019. After that period a jury makes a shortlist out of all the artists that entered the contest. The final shortlist will be announced at October 16, 2019. From that moment on fans and followers can submit their votes on the artists on the shortlist. On the Gigstarter profile page of the artist, fans can submit their votes. The top 3 live acts with most of the votes will be invited to play a live gig during the Artist of the Year final on December 13th, 2019.
The three artists that win the online voting competition get to perform during the final. After the three live performances, the expert jury will decide which act will become Gigstarter Artist of the Year 2019. In addition to a jury-prize, Gigstarter will be giving away a prize to the performance that wins the audience’s popular vote. Furthermore, the DJ of the Year will be entertaining the crowd with its music.
