This includes sections about merchandise, donations, or information about who they collaborated with. + +**Music: Non-Music Section** +Only for use in music videos. This includes introductions or outros in music videos. + +> If the interval without music is eligible for any other category, choose it instead. However, if a category other than “non-music” could be used, but wouldn’t cover the part without the music entirely, use “non-music.” +> +> In the end, the video should resemble the Spotify or any other mix version as close as possible. +> [FAQ](FAQ) \ No newline at end of file
