The online music platform “Global Rockstar” is scoring points with
another innovation: from the start of
voting on 15 October, musicians can offer their merchandise for sale, for
instance signed t-shirts or living room concerts, on the newly created “Global
Rockstar marketplace” in return for fans’ votes. For example, a signed album costs EUR 15
and gets the musician 150 votes in the contest. Up to 90% of the takings go to the artist. This way, yet another option is available
to fans who wish to support their favourites – besides the free social media
votes.
Here’s
how it works: artists upload their self-penned song and fan items to www.globalrockstar.com, starting now. From 15 October, fans from every country
choose their national representative. Ultimately, in the final, all national winners will compete for valuable
non-money prizes and the main prize of USD 25,000.
Musicians from all countries can upload their self-composed song to www.globalrockstar.com until 15 November
2015.
