🟢 THE CROWD HAS THE POWER!
Forget traditional judging panels. At The Smokeout ATX Tournament, THE AUDIENCE IS PART OF THE ACTION!
Every attendee will receive a special double-sided voting fan, giving YOU the opportunity to help decide which artists advance.
When two artists go head-to-head, the crowd raises their fans to cast their votes. The GREEN side signals support for the artist they want to see advance to the next round!
Alongside the crowd, J Soulja and DJ Napalm will help judge the competition, evaluating the performances and helping determine who has what it takes to become champion.
YOUR VOICE. YOUR VOTE. YOUR CHAMPION!
