## Description

Gigstarter is a platform that makes booking bands, DJs, and solo artists accessible for both large professional events and intimate house parties. They connect artists and bookers directly, without any hidden fees, aiming to empower independent musicians and make it possible for anyone to become a booker. By providing a transparent platform, Gigstarter allows bookers to directly book artists without paying any commission. Gigstarter also hosts an annual competition called the Gigstarter Artist of the Year. The competition has two categories: Artist of the Year (bands, duos, solo artists) and DJ of the Year. The process involves a subscription period, preselection, voting period, and finally, the top three finalists from each category record a ten-minute performance video. Winners are chosen by an external jury during an online event where the recorded performances are broadcasted. The Gigstarter Artist of the Year receives a €1000 cheque, while the DJ of the Year receives a €500 cheque. Gigstarter's mission is to create a live music ecosystem that connects local musicians with events, promoting the importance of live music in communities. They aim to empower both musicians and bookers, opening up opportunities for live music entertainment everywhere.
