Q: Why I keep seeing some people upload more than "one" video ? Other than that, will Cloudvocal's collaborating musicians also compete for the prizes ?
A: Since Cloudvocal has collaborating musicians and brand ambassadors, sometimes we need them to help us spread the words. Therefore it could be sometimes multiple video uploads. Please be noted that we already informed our collaborating musicians and ambassadors that they won't be competing for the prizes to avoid conflict of interests.
