During the TWSL shows, Hotlink will also provide facilities for budding musicians with original material to record their submissions to TWRF.
Hotlink will be contributing a special cash prize of RM10,000 to the winner, RM3,000 to the first runner-up and RM2,000 to the second runner-up as funds to continue their efforts in developing their craft.
“We’re excited to be working with The Wknd on TWRF & TWSL to help re-energise the independent local music scene and discover new talents. Music and Hotlink has always gone hand in hand, and we are continuing to lead the way in finding and nurturing budding talents, first with Akademi Fantasia and now through this partnership with The Wknd. We look forward to listening to original submissions by up-and-coming musicians and finally seeing them hit the stage at the final TWSL gig.
