How to Enter FreshCut Rising Star
The initial entry should showcase the best parts of your content, make it engaging, funny or skillful - just show us YOU. It must be uploaded to studio.freshcut.gg under the #RisingStar!
We’re going to look at every single entry and base it on the following:
- Interaction and engagement along with flow and consistency
- Entertainment, enjoyable to watch, and well thought out
- Branding, design, and theme of the Twitch channel
- Technical knowledge of stream such as audio levels, camera placement, lighting
- Skill and knowledge of the game or genre chosen to showcase
How are Entries Selected?
12 entries will make it to the live stage, with 4 entries based off of performance.
- The most liked entry
- The most shared entry
- The top trending (mixture of views, likes, comments, shares, and tips)
- The most tipped entry (diamonds can be earned through quests, giveaways and events on FreshCut! You can use these diamonds on your favourite creators/entries)
- 8 entries selected by the FreshCut team*
*24 entries will be selected by a panel of the FreshCut team and voted down to 8 by the FreshCut community on Sunday, December 18 on twitch.tv/freshcutgg.
In the event that one entry is the top of multiple categories (e.g most liked and most shared) the entry in the 2nd position will be selected.
The Live Stage
Contestants who make it to the live show will have a 20 minute slot to showcase themselves LIVE in front of 3 judges and the community. Creators will join the judges for a short interview before their live entry and for a follow up after their entry to receive their feedback.
- Contestants must be live on their own channel
- Judges will be live on https://twitch.tv/freshcutgg viewing the contestants channel
The Voting Process
24 entries will be selected for a community voting round to choose 8 finalists. The Top 8 is decided by community chat vote on Sunday, December 18, time TBD.
The 12 finalists (top 8 selected by community + top liked, shared, trending, and tipped) will then be on live shows from December 19 - 21. Creators will go “head to head” four at a time on and one creator from each night will move to the LIVE final on Friday December 23.
All 3 judges get 2 votes for each night, which they can split or cast both for the same creator. The community will receive 1 vote each night, via a chat poll. The live entry with the most votes progresses to the final (any ties go to a chat vote). Entries not included in the tie will not be included in the chat vote.
The Finals
During the final, voting remains the same with placements and prize splits being revealed. In the event of a tie, the community will vote on the tied creators - without knowledge of what placements are tied.
