How is the winner selected for the Converse “Get Out of the Garage” Contest?
• Voting will start on OurStage on November 1 2009. Members of the OurStage community will be asked during this Judging process to rank entries in the channels. The OurStage community during the judging process will narrow down the competitions to the Top 10 for each genre channel. • The Top 10 finalists in both of the Get Out of the Garage Contests will move on to the stage of the Contest, where entries will be judged by a panel of qualified judges, who are experts in the field of music, based on the following four criteria: Creativity (25%); Melody and Music (25%); Lyrics (25%) and Entertainment Value (25%). In the event of a tie, the entrants will be re-judged based on: Creativity (50%) and Melody and Music (50%). • The Top 10 finalist will be considered based on their entertainment value, which accounts for 25% percent of their final ranking. This is determined by the footage of their live performance videos that appear on their OurStage profile and/or EPK. • Or or around November
