How are the winners chosen?
The contest referees select the winners from a shortlist, consisting of 25 tracks. The winners' shortlist includes:
-
The 20 tracks with the most votes in that week;
-
+5 WILD CARD tracks (Rap Fame choice).
The top 5 winners are then chosen by the Rap Fame team from this shortlist.
Please note, in any partner contest, our partners will choose the winners from their own shortlist unless otherwise stated.
In selecting the winners, the referees are guided by the below set of key criteria:
-
The track should be in line with the contest topic;
-
The track should feature high-quality songwriting;
-
The track should be recorded by the author and feature the artist’s voice. Vocal transformations that distort the artist’s voice in an unrecognizable way will not be considered to win the contest. These decisions will be made at the discretion of the Rap Fame contest Judges;
-
The track should aim for the best recording quality available to the artist;
-
The track should not insult entrants, users, listeners or the Rap Fame Team.
In case the Rap Fame Team did not choose the winners, the prizes in a weekly contest are split according to users’ voting.
IMPORTANT: By entering the contest, you agree that the opinion of judges may not coincide with your or your friends’ opinion (however, it does not mean your track is bad or unworthy of victory).
Who are the tournament referees?
The winners are chosen by the Rap Fame Team. Each week this may be different people including administration, celebrity referees or our contest partners and sponsors.
What is a Weekly Tournament?
The Rap Fame Weekly Contest is a tournament to identify the rapper who has best addressed the contest topic and demonstrated such artistic skills as quality rhyming, rhythm, delivery and flow.
The Rap Fame Weekly Contests are not battle rap tournaments. There is no direct opponent in this type of competition. Therefore it's prohibited to battle or ambiguously insult users, listeners and entrants. Since it is impossible to foresee all the cases, the Rap Fame Team asks you to rely on common sense. Whether your track goes beyond the boundaries of common sense is determined by the contest referees. To avoid any dispute, please, leave your best dissing punchlines for battles and battle tournaments.

Yes, you can upload a new track anytime during the week of the contest. But once you upload a new track, all votes for any previous track will disappear and the initial entry will be deleted.
