Perform behind an emoji mask. The public gives stars — the best rise weekly, monthly, and one champion a year.
No followers needed. No reputation at stake. Just you and your talent, judged on nothing else.
Record in the app or upload a video — our emoji mask locks onto your face automatically and never comes off. Writers are anonymous by nature: just pick a pen name.
Choose your category, pick a stage name, and publish. Your real identity is never shown — not on the post, not in the credits, not anywhere.
The public gives stars all week. The most-starred entries hold the front of their category. Weekly winners advance to monthly finals — and monthly winners battle for the annual crown.
Six ways to compete. Videos are capped at 60 seconds — short enough to be brave, long enough to shine.
Sing or rap — any style. Your voice is the star; your face stays a mystery. Originals shine brightest.
Play an instrument, DJ, or produce — anything you create with sound. Let the music speak for you.
Stand-up bits, one-liners, crowd work for the camera. Make strangers laugh as a fox in sunglasses.
Nail a celebrity, a character, an accent — all voice, no face. The mask makes the impression do the work.
A complete story, up to 2,000 words. Beginning, middle, end — and a reader who has no idea who you are.
The opening chapter of something bigger, up to 3,000 words. Hook the audience and leave them wanting the next one.
One account, one star per entry. The most-starred entries hold the front of their category all week — then the ladder begins.
Monday to Sunday, every category runs an open round. The entry with the most stars takes the week — and the front page resets so everyone gets a fresh shot.
The weekly winners face off in a head-to-head final. One champion per category advances to the big stage.
Twelve monthly champions per category. One winner. The reveal is theirs to choose — unmask in glory, or stay a legend in disguise.
The competition is live on the Watch & Vote page. See this week's entries, play them, and give your stars — tallies stay hidden until results drop Sunday, so every entry gets a fair shot all week.
