The Musician's Index Grand Contest Season 1 is now officially underway — and the platform has never sounded this good.
Every week, performers enter live battles and cyphers across TMI's arena rooms. Fans vote in real time, and the rankings update automatically after every round.
Prize pools are funded by sponsors. The more activity in a room, the more money goes into the pot. The cycle is self-sustaining.
Artists can enter CBC — Challenges, Battles, and Cyphers — through their performer hub. Rounds run Thursday through Sunday.
Fans earn XP for every vote, every tip, and every show they watch from start to finish.
At the end of each season, the top-ranked performers compete in the Finals for belts, trophies, and cash payouts distributed through the platform wallet.
Season 1 is accepting new performers now. No experience requirement. The stage is open.
