CONTEST RULES
1.  Artist and Producer Rules
From time to time, Kvibe Productions, LLC (“Kvibe.com”) will sponsor competitions that will be introduced by competition announcements. Other times, sponsors from different companies will sponsor or host competitions that will be introduced by competition announcements. The following rules are intended to supplement provisions contained within the individual competition announcements, as well as the Terms of Service and Artist Agreement.

Competition is open to amateur and professional artists throughout the world. Entries must be received no later than the date indicated on the competition announcement.

Kvibe is not responsible for late, lost, damaged, misdirected, postage due, stolen, or misappropriated entries.
2.2 Form of Submissions
Each song submitted must be the CONTESTANT’S ORIGINAL WORK unless otherwise stated in the rules for a specific competition. Contestants may submit only “One” song per contest category.

Collaborative work is accepted, but all prizes will be awarded to the first contestant named on the application. Division of prizes among co-contestants is the sole responsibility of winners.

The at-large public will have the opportunity to vote for songs during the competition. These winners will be selected via an online poll of “Yes” or “No”. The methodology for this averaging system will be at the sole discretion of Kvibe.com. The contestant whose submission receives the most qualified votes online shall be declared the winner of the contest category.
2.5 Activity Points
Any registered users will have a statistic of “Activity Points”. Activity points are used to help contestants receive quality votes from quality critics. Activity points are generated by the amount of times a registered user participates in rating and/or writing reviews for songs listed on an Artist and Producers profiles. Reviews are monitored by the Kvibe staff and if found abusive for the purpose of obtaining more Activity points, Kvibe reserves the right to take appropriate action.
