Questions.

Is this really free?

Yes. No fee to join, ever. We make money on the brand side, not the creator side.

Who is this for?

Short-form creators, roughly 1K–100K followers. Food, culture, scene, streetwear, fútbol — your lane is welcome. Women-owned voices are priority.

Smaller following — should I still apply?

Yes. Audience size is secondary. We pick by craft and specificity of voice.

I'm a brand or platform, not a creator.

Different door: Partners.

Don't see your way in?

DM us a story. A room. A face. A flag. We're listening through the whole tournament.
