These divisions encourage the interaction between audiences and artists to listen, watch, attend, engage and transact. The distribution deal will promote the winner's music through LiveXLive's flywheel, including digital radio, VOD, podcasting and live streaming. The first round Grand Prize winner will receive an "A&R Starter pack" worth $100,000 to launch their professional career that includes a distribution, publishing, and record deal.
