The Second-Place winner, Ala Ghawas of Bahrain and Third-Place winners, Laurin & Nico of Austria, won AKG live or recording packages including various microphones and headphones.  

Global Rockstar began receiving entries on September 1 until November 4, when one artist from each participating country was selected through user voting, more than 10,000 bands, solo artist, singer-songwriters and other artists from around the world uploaded their songs and videos to www.globalrockstar.com.
