The World Cup starts tomorrow. So does ours.
48 nations. One winner. Six months of WAVjunkie Pro on the line. The WAVjunkie World Cup is live and every artist and listener on the platform has a shot at it.
How it works
Enter before June 23rd and you'll be randomly assigned three World Cup teams, one from each of our three pots. A contender. A dark horse. A wildcard.
If any of your three teams lifts the trophy on July 19th, you win six months of WAVjunkie Pro. That's 100 uploads per month, unlimited artist profiles, and every Pro feature on the platform, completely free.
Already on Pro? You win 50 bonus uploads added to your monthly allowance for six months.
Not an artist? You'll receive $30 prepaid card to spend.
The three pots
We've split all 48 teams into three pots of 16, seeded by FIFA ranking. Everyone gets one team from each pot, so nobody is stuck with three minnows, and nobody gets an unfair advantage.
Pot | Label | Teams include |
|---|---|---|
Pot 1 | Contenders | France, Spain, Argentina, England, Brazil, Germany... |
Pot 2 | Dark horses | Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Canada, Norway... |
Pot 3 | Wildcards | Scotland, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde, Haiti... |
Who can enter
Artists — complete your Stripe Connect onboarding before June 23rd and you're in. If you've already done it, you're already eligible.
