What Exactly Are The Rules of the Game…?

Fame Games artists receive public A&R from diversified sources.  Their songs receive a “unanimity rating,” which factors in opinions from fans and reviewers, professional radio DJs and record label A&R men; experts and laymen. All these contributions, whether expressed as simple votes or detailed reviews, result in a song rating. Artists with multiple songs eventually receive an “artist consistency rating.”

As a result, the Fame Games A&R system is widely considered as unequalled in the music industry. And all you have to do to prove it to yourself is simply listen to the top Fame Games artists and songs…!

The whole process and rules include:

• No covers. If an artist insists on submitting a cover, it must not only be highly original but fully authorized by the original copyright holder(s).
• All songs are presented on Fame Games as “promotional samples” and the artists allow us to use these songs in any reasonable manner we choose, as long as it serves the purpose of promoting the artists and advancing their careers.
• Minimum production standard is required (essentially a “clean” recording). Additionally, submissions MP3’s must be encoded at least at 128 kbps / 44.1 kHz.
• Brand new songs enter the “Auditions Area”, after which, if their unanimity rating is sufficiently high, they move up to the “BackStage Area”; from there, with further score reinforcement, they move up to the “Green Room Area.”
• Top Green Room songs move up to the Quarterfinal Shows. From there the top songs advance to the Semi-Final Shows, and from there again, the elite 5 songs advance to the Final Shows where, typically, they battle against the reigning Track of the Week.
• A song which wins Track of the Week four times in a row, is declared Track of the Month and no longer competes.
• All songs additionally get to compete in the Annual Effigy Awards, but with Finalists, Tracks of the Week and Track of the Month songs receiving preferential points.
• All top-ranked songs contiue receiving votes and reviews even after their “official” competition on Fame Games has ended. Numerous song charts allow all songs to have  a “long life” with our listeners and fans.
• The highest ranked songs receive regular airplay on Fame Games as well as on any affiliate radio stations who elect to spin those songs.
• Collaborating stations and music companies get access to the top artists, directly through Fame Games.
• Artists can use Fame Games as a networking platform which connects them with highly-targeted market niches as well as industry contacts. The same applies to music companies, stations – and fans – who get to interact within the Fame Games community, based on rules which we are currently implementing.
