The brief
Pick your art form. Shoot to its brief.
Every art form has one theme. Videos that follow it are reviewed first, and they're the ones we post on MBF's channels. How to shoot it is in the guidelines.
The MBF anthem
A verse that could be MBF's anthem. Back the people who build their own thing, and call out big companies that pay pennies for hard work. The hook must include 'Main bhi founder'. Don't name real companies or real people.

Questions
Before you upload
Do I need a lot of followers?
No. Followers don't count in selection. We ask for your Instagram or YouTube so people can find you from your artist page.
Can I send an Instagram or YouTube link instead of a file?
Not as your audition. Upload the video file from your artist profile. You can use a clip you've already posted if it's 60 seconds or less and follows the guidelines, but a new video shot to the brief is reviewed first. Add your Instagram, YouTube and portfolio links to your profile: they go on your artist page and help us review you.
Do I have to pay anything?
No. Uploading, the artist page, the live round and selection are all free. If anyone asks you for money in MBF's name, report it to hi@mainbhifounder.com.
What happens to my video if I'm not selected?
Your artist page stays up and your video can still be posted on MBF's channels with your credit. You can ask us to take it down at any time.
I'm under 18. Can I upload?
Yes, with a parent or guardian. They add their name and WhatsApp number in the form and give consent with you. If you're selected, they come with you on the day.
I paint. Can I take part?
Yes. Upload a 60-second video that shows your finished work and you making it. Selected work is posted on MBF's Instagram with your name and handle. Painters don't compete for the stage slots.
We're a band. Who fills in the form?
One member registers for everyone, adds the band name as the stage name, and confirms that every member agrees to the guidelines. Up to six people on stage.
