BATTLE PANEL DETAILS (For Panelists)

The Stew Beat Showcase Battle Panel features three judged rounds, intended only for panelists, and is not limited to the following challenges listed below:

Round 1: Homework Challenge. Each contestant will be given a challenge days before the big event (48-72 hours before). If the panel is full (8 producers), this will be a knockout round. Score low and “bye-you-go.”

Round 2: Chune for Chune. Each producer will be matched against another and go "beat for beat" in three (3) one-minute rounds.

Round 3:  Skill-Set Challenges. These vary per battle and can focus on skill sets in sampling, live beat making, scoring, and more. (Registered panelists will be provided further details as the competition date approaches.)

IMPORTANT! Round 3 requires that each producer have their equipment in person to cook up at the venue. You will be unable to participate in this round without your equipment.

Producers are judged on*:
Creativity (0-4)
Sound Quality (0-4)
Crowd Response (0-2)
*This scoring structure may not apply to all
skill-set rounds.



The panelist with the highest score at the end of the night will win the grand prize, which will consist of both cash, prizes a future opportunity with BAMS Fest & an interview on the Beat Club Podcast.
