THE NEXT VIRAL SUPERSTAR COMPETITION

OFFICIAL WINNING CRITERIA

To ensure fairness and reward both popularity and audience support, winners of The Next Viral Superstar Competition will be determined using a combination of online engagement and manually verified public voting support.

Scoring Structure

The final score of every contestant will be calculated as follows:

50% – Online Engagement

Total video views
Audience interaction (likes, comments, and shares)
Watch performance
Overall public engagement with the contestant's submitted content across official platforms

50% - Verified Public Votes

Manual bank transfers submitted by public supporters
Contestant code included in payment narration or reference
Only organizer-approved manual vote payments count

How Winners Will Be Determined

At the end of the competition, each contestant's performance will be assessed based on these two equally weighted categories:

- 50% from Online Engagement
- 50% from verified public votes

This means that having the highest views alone does not automatically guarantee victory, just as having the highest verified votes alone may not guarantee victory. The competition is designed to reward contestants who can both attract a large audience and inspire strong supporter participation.

Example

If a contestant ranks highly in online engagement but receives very few verified votes, their overall score may be affected.

Likewise, if a contestant receives many verified votes but has lower audience engagement, their final score may also be impacted.

The contestants with the highest combined scores from both categories will emerge as winners.
