Alas, due to a world pandemic we have lost a parade of summer tournaments; thankfully we have created our own competition to try and fill the void.
Over the last few weeks fans have been nominating their favourite independent artists, the top 32 acts with the most nominations made it through to the finals. On Monday 1/6/2020 we filmed the draw for transparency creating 8 groups of 4.
Each day a different group will be polled, with the top two acts with the highest combined votes from Twitter and Facebook. The 1/4 finals will be four groups of four with the same polling format and then semi-finals down to two groups of four culminating in a final group of four artists.
