Judging
ALRT and the NRG Records team pick the winner. Every entry is scored on four equal criteria. Follower counts, streams and likes play no part.
Creativity
A fresh take with your own identity, not a copy of the original.
Energy
Does it move a dancefloor? Drive, impact, euphoria.
Production
Mixdown, sound design, arrangement. Is it release-ready?
Respect for the original
The spirit and key hooks of “The Fat Boy” still come through.
