In Myanmar, award ceremonies dedicated to musicians are quite rare. However, around the world, various types of music awards are given. I hope that in our country, musicians will also receive the recognition they deserve.

Future Prospects
Myanmar does not yet have internationally recognized music awards like the Grammy Awards or BRIT Awards. However, there is potential for the development of higher-standard awards in the future.
There are TV programs that organize music competitions, but I encourage the establishment of an official system to select and honor musicians with awards in Myanmar. Thank you!
I have reached level 105 in the Risingstar Game. Today, when I logged into my Risingstar Game account, my cards were missing. I then went to Discord to report it. I think it was due to an internet connection issue. After about 15 minutes, the cards were restored. After that, I continued completing my missions.
