PIRATE X AMPLIFY “INTO THE METAVERSE” COMPETITION

Type: VR Concerts

Location: Global

Open to: Rehearsal

The "Into The Metaverse'' competition empowers artists to take their first steps into the metaverse. By participating, you'll get the chance to win your very own live metaverse and real-life concert promoted by Amplify — using Condense's groundbreaking volumetric 3D capture technology. This will enable you to play live in front of a crowd in Bristol, and be projected in the metaverse at the same exact time.

This is a global competition. Wherever you are, if successful, you’ll be flown over from anywhere in the world, for an all-expenses paid trip (including accommodation) to Bristol — one of England’s music hubs.

In addition, the winner will receive $500 (or the equivalent in your local currency) of free studio credit provided by Pirate, for practice, recording and/or volumetric capture — that can be redeemed at any Pirate Studio in any country.
