With the success of YouTube, a lot of video sites have popped up, each with their own niche. TriFame is trying to be the Web version of American Idol. A Wii isn't much of a prize compared to a recording contract, though.

New Talent Community Launched Online to Discover the Next Biggest Stars

TriFame launched its new Web site where users and non-users can vote on content and decide the next biggest star in modeling, music and dance

MIAMI, May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Now there's a new way to get discovered. TriFame.com, launched April 1, is a talent community that allows users to upload and view content, in the areas of modeling, music, dance and a miscellaneous category known as "Offbeat." Users decide who the next big star is, and the winner is awarded prizes ranging from MP3 Players, cash to a possible record deal or magazine cover.

The website incorporates ideas of popular shows such as America's Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance? and American Idol. It is similar to YouTube and Myspace.com where users can upload content to share with the world. What sets TriFame apart is that the users get rewarded for their talents.

To get involved, visit the Web site and register for free. Once you are a member, getting discovered is as easy as logging in, uploading content, voting and winning prizes. The top content submitters will be offered a variety of industry-based incentives to keep uploading content and voting. Users can upload video and photographic content.

TriFame.com has something for everyone. It provides exposure for artists, entertainment for viewers, a direct connection between artists and fans and rewards the top performers in each category. The current contest is a sweepstakes. For every piece of content uploaded, users will receive one "raffle ticket," so to speak, for the June contest. The grand prize is a Nintendo Wii. As the site grows, so will the contests, with the end-of-year prizes being the largest.

TriFame.com is putting the power in the hands of the users. If you are seeking help making it in the entertainment industry, this is the place you should be. Even if you are not looking to be the next big thing, TriFame.com is still a great place to upload content to share with friends and family and to check out new media.

TriFame was founded in April 2008 by two college students. It will allow the general public to engage in the talent discovery process. The Web site capitalizes on the growing demand for online media and the desire to gain notoriety. TriFame gives aspiring artists the exposure needed to become the next biggest star.
