-Perform at CARNEGIE HALL in New York: At least 10 winners will be given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
-Generous Cash Prizes: Multiple cash prizes will be awarded to outstanding participants.
-Special Awards: Unique awards recognizing exceptional talent and creativity.
-Music Album Production: The chance to produce 5 music albums, offering winners a remarkable platform for their work.
We kindly ask for your support in sharing this information with your network. Thank you very much for your consideration!
With our best wishes,
