FreshCut Freshmen: WIN up to $2,000 in monthly smash scholarships

FreshCut Freshmen

Are you a local hero, bracket demon or even a low-key prodigy in the Smash community? Then you’re in luck! 🤩 FreshCut Freshmen is a monthly program, designed to elevate up-and-coming Smashers within the community. Every month, players will have an opportunity to become a FreshCut Freshmen, where you’ll be rewarded with:

  • 📣 Promotion on FreshCut (Smash Feed + Social Media)
  • 🎙️ Spotlight segment and interview on Hungrybox’s stream
  • ✈️ Up to $2,000 travel & accommodation stipend to the next available major
  • ✅ All 8 finalists will receive Partner status on FreshCut

Each month will feature 8 finalists, with 3 of those taking a spot on the final podium! Top 3 will be rewarded 💰

How do you participate?

Well, it’s simple! Each month, we’ll announce the start of the program alongside Hungrybox. You’ll need to take part in Phase One and get those community votes. If you pass Phase One, you’ll meet Phase Two. Here’s some info on the phases 👇

Phase One

Each month, The Smash community will respond to a tweet by Hungrybox calling for the community to vote for who they think should be the next FreshCut Freshmen. At the end of this phase, we’ll pick the top finalists based on which players are driving the most HYPE!

Phase Two

If you’ve made the final cut (top 8), you’ll need to upload a video (less than 60 seconds) to FreshCut with the tag #FreshCutFreshmen, and tell us why you deserve a slice of the pie! The Smash community can help boost your submission by commenting ‘VOUCH’ on your post 😎 Hungrybox will reveal the winners live on stream.

With that being said… We’re opening up the first FreshCut Freshmen program TODAY! Good luck, Smashers 💥 Questions? Head over to our Discord and ask away ❤️ (You’ll find an FAQ there, too)
