7.1 All valid and eligible applications received during the Application Period, will be reviewed and assessed by Puig, the Partner and a panel of three (3) independent individuals who are affiliated with the Partner from a music presenting or media background (the "Selection Panel") who shall select nine (9) shortlisted applications (the “Shortlisted Recipient(s)”) within thirty (30) days of the end of the Application Period. The Shortlisted Recipients will be the nine (9) applications that the Selection Panel deems to have the best: music quality, tangible music goals, articulation of their challenges and what they would like to do with the fund, a demonstration of a desire to learn more about the industry, their general suitability as a representative of Puig and the Partner and how they can manage various aspects of their career themselves and live performance capabilities (the “Selection Criteria”). The Shortlisted Recipients’ music shall be available on the Hub for a period of up to four (4) weeks (the “Shortlist Period”) in order to promote The Shortlisted Recipients’ and their music. Within thirty (30) days following the end of the Shortlist Period, the Selection Panel shall select three (3) Award recipients (the “Recipients”) based on those Shortlisted Recipients who best fit the Selection Criteria above all else, at the sole discretion of the Selection Panel. For the avoidance of doubt, being selected as a Shortlisted Recipient does not guarantee you will be selected as a Recipient of an Award.

7.5 We reserve the right to select an alternative Recipient in the event that:

(a) a Recipient cannot be contacted after two (2) attempts within five (5) business days of the Recipient's selection; and/or

(b) a Recipient does not confirm their acceptance of their Award and return the requested information and signed documents in the Offer Letter within five (5) days of notification by us, including any documents to be signed by any Contributors to Your Application; and/or
