Based in Austin, Texas – “The Live Music Capital of the World” – FameCast is the premier online talent competition and community for emerging, entrepreneurial musicians.  The company aims to shine the spotlight on those who “have what it takes, but have lacked the breaks” by providing them with worldwide exposure to new fans and opportunities to further their careers.

Companies also use FameCast's proprietary contest platform to power branded contests, such as Guitar Center On-Stage with Mötley Crüe, Ernie Ball Play Mayercraft and Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands.

FameCast has awarded more than $500,000 in prizes since its launch in January 2007, and has directly elevated the careers of many artists.  Its platform has facilitated artist discovery by sources including MTV Networks, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and media outlets including SPIN, Billboard and Pollstar.

They advance to the FameCast Finals, wherein the 18 monthly genre winners from the past three months compete to become the FameCast Fenom and winner of $20,000.

OUR CONTESTS

FameCast hosts monthly, video-based contests for artists on six stages:

Rock • Country • Hip Hop • Pop • Latino • Christian

To enter FameCast’s contests, artists simply upload a video, select a genre and complete a Backstage profile.  Entry is 100% free. 

Each month, FameCast’s contest engine aggregates competing artists’ fan vote counts and Buzz Factor ratings to determine which artists advance through each round of competition and ultimately become the monthly winner on their contest stage.  They also advance to the FameCast Finals, wherein the 18 monthly genre winners from the past three months compete to become the FameCast Grand Champion and winner of $20,000.

Top artists score all kinds of gigs along the way – Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and more.
