Whats the definition of a busker and why aren't they allowed?
You are titled dependent on how many posts you have done on the forum, for example 1-100 posts = busker status, 101-200 posts= solo gig status (they aren't the exact figures but they give you an idea).
When they decided the rules of the competition, they said that to prevent forum 'drive bys' they would only consider anything from 'solo gig' status or above for the competition, this was also to motivate people to actively participate on the forum.
HOWEVER, anyone can vote from the list of nominees, so get your vote in before the 15th of September!
