What exactly is W:O:A Metal Masters and how does this work?

Metal Masters is a online voting for videos which takes place the first time this year. Here you can present your best video to the masses of metal fans and get it rated. But that's not all: the band with the best-rated video will gain a live slot at the W:O:A 2010.

How you can partake:

First, you have to register at wackentube.com and load up your video in the category Metal Masters.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY THAT YOU REGISTER WITH YOUR BAND NAME!!!!!

Now drum up your business and make the metalheads vote for you!

What bands can take part?

Basically, every band can take part. Every band member has to have finished the 16th year of life. Also bands which have already a record deal or took part in the W:O:A Metal Battle (but didn't win) can partake.

How long lasts the voting?

The online voting starts on April, 16th and ends on July, 30th.

How can I promote my band the best way?

We offer you a 'Vote for us' banner. The source code can be found below your uploaded video. You and your fans can copy this code and embed it on any websites. Via click on this banner one can watch your video and vote for you.

Cheaters part III

again some cheaters tried to disturb the result of the W:O:A Metal Masters yesterday evening and night. We will again delete those votes which came from certain and same IP Adresses and let you know about the winner as soon as possible.
We´re very disappointed about the things happened in the last days. But finally we´ll have a fair-minded voted winner.

Yours,

W:O:A Metal Masters Team

Dear Metal Masters participants,

we´re sad to let you know that again there has been a massive distortion of the W:O:A Metal Masters Voting.
This time the cheaters created a massive number of accounts not with trashmail addresses, but with accounts which have been created with the same ip-adress (which means from the same pc within just a short time).
We got aware of this matter by checking the logfiles of the last month.
With these accounts one band has been voted with 5 stars and the other ones with just 1 star to bring a certain band to the top position.
This is not allowed by the rules of W:O:A Metal Masters!
We will again delete these votes immediately!

If there should still be abuses in the last hours of the voting those votes will be deleted tomorrow morning!

We think to have acted the right way for every user and a fair Metal Masters voting.

Your Metal Masters Team
