A total of 10 participants will be eliminated each round. The participants who qualified for the preliminaries are as follows:

The runner-up will receive US$800 cash and a virtual session with Provost, while third-place will receive US$500 cash and a virtual session with Provost.

All participants in the preliminary round will receive a brand new pair of MalletMan pan sticks and access to webinars geared towards musical and professional development. An exclusive career guidance webinar was also hosted for the participants and members of the public by the one and only Paganini of steelpan Liam Teague. All semifinalists will receive a copy of the #1Steelpan App GOLD and all finalists will not only receive an EnSoul Pan Pickup but an appearance fee as well!
