FAQ

Can I use national symbols?

Be careful when you use national symbols such as flags, emblems, and insignia that represent countries. They must be used responsibly.

Can I use music?

Use only NON-COPYRIGHTED songs. If copyrighted songs are in the submission they will not be put up for voting. (Search royalty-free music and find appropriate music if necessary)

What about the language?

You can use slang and dialect because we are from the Caribbean. 😁

The use of obscene language and obscene images is strictly prohibited.

Can we get help?

Can you get help? Well, I can’t stop you.
