Abstract

A method and system for implementing an online talent business whereby large numbers of unknown artists can have their artistic works made available to the public and wherein the public votes on which artists they like and whereby the online talent business enters into business contracts with the artists based on the public voting. An interactive investment simulation game is also provided for public participation in evaluating the actual demand of unsigned artists.
