Before submitting
Participants must have the right to record and publish their performance and permission from identifiable people shown. Songwriters, publishers, record labels, performers, and other rights holders may hold separate rights. An approved entry may still receive a YouTube claim, restriction, mute, block, or takedown.
Send a notice
The public launch must publish a monitored copyright contact address. A notice should identify the claimant, the protected work, the exact VocalCrown performance URL, the allegedly infringing material, contact information, a good-faith statement, an accuracy and authority statement, and a physical or electronic signature.
What happens next
VocalCrown can hide the portal page, pause voting, preserve relevant evidence, and request removal through the connected YouTube channel. The participant may be notified and may use an applicable counter-notice process. Repeat or serious infringement may lead to account suspension or disqualification.
Urgent safety or legal requests
Use the reporting control on a performance for platform-rule concerns. The final launch page must identify an urgent legal contact and the jurisdiction-specific designated agent details if required.
