About this event

Perform on the Black Joy Parade Stage 🀯!

We're partnering with the Black Joy Parade again and you know what that means... PRIZES πŸŽπŸ™ŒπŸΏπŸ˜€!!!

We'll be choosing 3 special winners from this Second Mondays event, and another 3 at the December Second Monday event. These 6 artists will have secured spots on the January Second Mondays open mic list.

This is HUGE because the list fills FAST and many people don't get a chance to perform during the Gold Beams x Black Joy Parade Collab. The list closes within the first 10 minutes of the event.

The winner of the January Second Mondays will perform on the Black Joy Parade Stage in front of THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯. There will be prizes for 2nd and 3rd place winners too.
