Thomas Adagio + Gigamesh - ready2go Video Contest

Official Rules

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

This is a skill-based contest. Winners are chosen on the merit of their submission, not by random chance.

1. Sponsor

This contest (the “Contest”) is run by Matthew Masurka (the “Sponsor”). Contact: contact@gigameshmusic.com.

2. Eligibility

• Open to individuals who are at least 13 years old at the time of entry.
• Entrants under 18 (or under the age of majority where they live) must have permission from a parent or legal guardian, who must agree to these rules on their behalf. Before any cash prize is paid to a minor, or any video featuring a minor is published or edited by Sponsor, the parent/guardian must provide written consent and complete any required forms.
• The cash prize is available to eligible entrants worldwide, EXCEPT residents of any country or region subject to U.S. sanctions or embargoes, and EXCEPT where prohibited or restricted by law. Void where prohibited.
• To receive the cash prize, a winner must be able to accept payment through one of the methods Sponsor offers (such as PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle). Some methods are available only to winners with a U.S. bank account; Sponsor offers PayPal (or another method it selects) for eligible winners outside the U.S.
• Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of Sponsor are not eligible for the cash prize.

3. Entry Period

The Contest begins July 17, 2026 at 12:00 AM Pacific Time and ends July 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. Entries submitted outside this window will not be considered. Sponsor’s clock is the official timekeeper.

Sponsor may extend the Entry Period at its discretion. Any extension will be announced on the Contest page, will apply to all entrants equally, and will never shorten the Entry Period or invalidate entries already received. The winner announcement date may shift correspondingly.

4. How to Enter

1. Pre-save Thomas Adagio + Gigamesh - ready2go on Spotify or Apple Music via https://hypeddit.com/thomasadagio/ready2go-download (if the song is already released by the time you enter, it can be saved via the same link). Saving on Spotify or Apple Music is free and does not affect judging; it is a condition of entry only.*
2. Create an original video featuring Thomas Adagio + Gigamesh - ready2go (any style, such as dance, lip-sync, comedy, or edits) and post it publicly on TikTok and/or Instagram. The post’s text caption must include #ready2gocontest, which identifies the post as a contest entry.**
3. Submit your entry at https://gigameshmusic.com/contests/ready2go by providing a link to your post and the requested contact information, then click the confirmation link we email you. Confirming your email is what makes your entry official. Once your email is confirmed, additional entries submitted with that email are official upon submission (no further confirmation link is required).

• Optional but encouraged (it helps us find and feature you): use the official “ready2go” sound, available in the music libraries on TikTok and Instagram. Sharing and promoting your post is welcome. Neither is required to win.
• Your post and account must be public so Sponsor can view the entry. Up to 3 entries per person, where an entry is one original video and each entry must be a different video. Posting the same video on both TikTok and Instagram is encouraged but not required; you may submit either or both links, and the two posts together count as one entry. Entries must be your own original content and must not infringe anyone else’s rights or contain unlawful, hateful, or explicit material.
• You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you submit, including your email address and the link to your post. Sponsor is not required to contact you to correct or complete a defective entry. An entry that is incomplete, contains inaccurate contact information, or whose link is broken, incorrect, or does not resolve to a qualifying public post may be disqualified. Your post must remain public and available from entry until at least August 2, 2026; if Sponsor cannot view it during judging or verification, the entry may be disqualified.

5. Judging and Winner Selection

After the entry period closes, Sponsor will review all eligible entries and select one (1) Grand Prize winner and 5 Runner-Up winners based on the following criteria:

• Creativity and originality
• Energy, performance, and entertainment value
• Use of and fit with the song
• Overall video quality

A person may win no more than one prize regardless of how many entries they submit.

Judging is at Sponsor’s sole and good-faith discretion. Winners will be announced after the Entry Period ends.

6. Prizes

Grand Prize (1): USD $1,000. Runner-Up Prizes (5): USD $100 each. Prizes are paid electronically by a method Sponsor offers, for example PayPal, or (for winners with a U.S. account) Venmo or Zelle. Available methods depend on the winner’s country and provider; a winner outside the U.S. will be paid via PayPal or another international method Sponsor selects. Payment is sent to an account in the winner’s own legal name (or, for a minor, their parent or legal guardian’s account). Sponsor is not responsible for fees, delays, or limits imposed by the winner’s payment provider. If a winner cannot accept any method Sponsor reasonably offers, the prize is forfeited and Sponsor may select an alternate winner.

Prizes are non-transferable. Sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value if necessary. Winners are responsible for any costs not specifically listed here.

7. Winner Notification

Winners will be contacted using the information they submitted, within a reasonable time after selection. A winner must respond and complete any required forms (see Sections 8 and 9) within seven (7) days. If a winner cannot be reached, is ineligible, or does not respond in time, Sponsor may select an alternate winner.

Sponsor may require a winner to verify their identity, age, eligibility, and ownership of the entry account and post, and to provide valid payment details, within seven (7) days. A winner who cannot be reached, fails verification, provides inaccurate or unusable contact or payment information, or does not respond in time forfeits the prize, and Sponsor may select an alternate winner.

8. Taxes

Winners are responsible for all taxes on their prize. Sponsor may require a winner to complete tax and identity forms (for example, a W-9 for U.S. persons or a W-8BEN for non-U.S. persons) before the cash prize is paid, and may withhold or report amounts where required by law.

9. Content License and Release

By entering, you grant Sponsor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, display, and share your submitted video and your name/likeness as it appears in the video, across any media, to run and promote this Contest and the single Thomas Adagio + Gigamesh - ready2go. Where an entrant is a minor, this license is granted by their parent or legal guardian. You confirm you have the rights to everyone and everything appearing in your video.

10. Privacy

Sponsor collects the information you submit to run this Contest (verifying entries, contacting and paying winners) and to add you to Sponsor’s mailing list for new music and contest updates, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. It will not be sold. The information stays with Sponsor and the services used to run the Contest (such as payment via PayPal), and is kept only as long as needed to administer the Contest and meet any legal or tax obligations. Questions about your information can be sent to contact@gigameshmusic.com.

11. Platform Disclaimer

This Contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with TikTok, Instagram, or Meta. By entering, you release these platforms from any liability related to this Contest.

12. General Conditions

Sponsor may disqualify any entry that violates these rules or any platform’s terms, and may modify, suspend, or cancel the Contest if fraud, technical failure, or any cause beyond its reasonable control affects it. If Sponsor cannot lawfully or practically award a prize to a selected winner, Sponsor may select an alternate winner or substitute a comparable prize. Sponsor’s decisions are final on all matters relating to the Contest.

13. Limitation of Liability

By entering, you agree that Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, or misdirected entries, or for any technical problems, and that participation is at your own risk. To the extent allowed by law, Sponsor’s total liability is limited to awarding the prizes described above.
