The Tecno Own the Stage competition gives them the opportunity and the platform to do just that.”To enter the competition, a prospective contestant has to visit the Tecno Own the Stage website and select a track from the track list. The contestant thereafter records a karaoke rendition and uploads the track via the submission form on the website.
