The competition mandates that all key contributors—including director, technicians, and artists—must be Goan residents, with valid government ID or address proof required.
The competition will feature ten songs, with participants required to create a music video based on a song by Damu Naik, allotted during the official selection event. Separate prizes will be awarded for each song.
