Hard Rock Cafe and Coca-Cola have launched ‘Hard Rock Rising’, a global music competition spanning 34 countries and 64 Hard Rock Cafe locations. The initiative aims to provide career opportunities for bands, soloists, DJs, and ~~DJs.~~ singer-songwriters. Participants can submit two original songs by August 18. Following the submission period, local fan voting will advance participants through weekly rounds in September. In specific locations such as ~~Copenhagen,~~ Copenhagen and Santiago, up to nine selected artists will perform at the local cafe, where the audience votes for a winner. Local winners may receive prizes such as a 500 USD cash award and a three-month paid residency. Local winners will then advance to a global stage where the Coke Studio ~~team~~ team, led by executive producer Rob Rettberg, will select a grand-prize winner. The global champion, to be announced on October 5, will receive a 10,000 USD cash award, a professional recording ~~session,~~ session in Los Angeles, and a performance at Hard Rock Live in Orlando. The initiative also includes a collaboration with the streetwear brand Cult of Individuality for limited-edition merchandise.
