Rules

  • You can enter with a video which is already public on the internet.
  • You cannot enter with a video which you used to enter previous G.O.D. events.
  • Multiple entries will be OK.
  • You can record a video with your friend, band member etc.
  • You can enter the contest if you cover only a part of the song. If none of G.O.D. songs match your style, just choose your favorite song and play a solo on it in the solo section.
  • We’ll accept entries from all over the world, and we’ll ship the prize worldwide if we have any transportation available.
  • You can play with any kind of tracks including the original version, the distributed backing tracks and the backing tracks you create on your own.
  • You cannot enter with a video that contains any copyright infringement.
  • We will not hold the live final this time.
  • Only entries with a guitar will be judged, but we’d be very happy if you try with your favorite instruments like vocal, bass, keyboard, violin etc.

Judgement criteria

  • We want you to be unique and original. Please don’t just copy the original but add any ideas you have.
  • Playback will be OK if it goes unnoticed.
  • View counts or SNS engagement DOES affect the judgement. Advertise your entry as much as possible!
