  2. Have the necessary permissions

Where do I enter the competition to go to Hollywood?

There is not form to enter as this isn’t really a “competition”. But as an extension of the Makshoof Music opportunities – all you have to do is sign up on Makshoof Music and create a profile! Or if you already have one, update (music, video, photos) it!

What is a Makshoof Music Profile?

A Makshoof Music profile is your own dedicated page (or your band’s) on triplew.me -  where you can upload songs, videos, photos and let us know more about your music. Your Makshoof Music profile is completely shareable on various social networks and your fans can vote for you by ‘liking’ your page and commenting!

How can I start a Makshoof Music profile?

Use this upload form!

After I made a profile, how can I win?

Winning this specific opportunity is based on various aspects:

  1. Popularity: Get sharing! Your Makshoof Music profile is customized with various social networks buttons so utilize that. You will also get your own http://www.triplew.me/nameofband URL - so use that simple link and show it to everyone you know. The more people are on your page and the more they like it – the better your position is on the Makshoof Music charts.
  2. Challenges: During the lifetime of the opportunity we’ll ask you to take part in two challenges. These challenges won’t be anything impossible but would relate back to your music and profile. Stay tuned!
  3. Judging: A panel of judges will shortlist its favorite 10 profiles and those will automatically qualify to win the opportunity. So don’t forget to update your profile with new music!

What are the Makshoof Music charts?

The Makshoof Music charts (the first chart of its kind for unsigned Middle Eastern bands and musicians) is our way of gauging the popularity of Makshoof Music profiles. So share, share, share!

Is there any way I can guarantee qualifying?

The only way is by climbing up the charts. Or making some brilliant music that the judges can never say no to!

What are the challenges?
