DALLAS - TelAve -- The days of waiting in long audition lines are over. Gong Talent, a first-of-its-kind social media competition platform, is redefining talent contests by allowing creators to compete in video competitions where fans decide the winners. Unlike traditional shows that rely on producers or celebrity judges, Gong Talent lets the audience take control—ranking and rewarding real talent with cash prizes of up to $1,000.

Since launching, several competitors—including singers, comedians, and entertainers—have already taken home $500 cash prizes. This week, Gong Talent is raising the stakes—offering a $1,000 grand prize to the top-ranked creator.

Gong Talent believes that talent should be recognized by the people, not just by a panel of judges. The platform empowers performers, creators, and artists to showcase their skills, engage with their audience, and be rewarded for their talent—all from their mobile devices.

How Gong Talent Works
Fans rank the top four submissions in a competition.
First place earns 4 points, second place gets 3 points, third place gets 2 points, and fourth place receives 1 point.
The contestant with the highest total points wins the cash prize.

Compete in Open and Private Contests—Or Create Your Own
Gong Talent doesn't just offer public competitions—anyone can create their own private contest in any category. Recently, the platform hosted a Valentine's Day "Best Pickup Line" contest, where users competed for a $50 prize by submitting their funniest, most creative pickup lines. This feature empowers users to host and judge their own competitions, making Gong Talent not just a stage, but a tool for creating new challenges and trends.

Fans Earn Rewards While Judging and Can Tip Their Favorite Creators
Gong Talent is not just about competing—it also rewards those who participate in the judging process. Fans who evaluate submissions earn Gong Gold, the app's exclusive reward system. After making five judgments, users unlock Gong Gold, making every vote count while ensuring continued engagement.

But Gong Gold isn't just a reward for judging—it's a way for fans to support their favorite creators. Users can tip talented competitors directly using Gong Gold, helping them earn recognition and financial rewards beyond competition winnings. This unique tipping feature gives fans an active role in supporting rising talent, ensuring that performers continue creating and growing their audience.
