Depending on how loud and how much the audience applauds, is what they award the artist. If the audience is loud enough the artist gets the first Gaviota de Plata which is the “silver seagull”. It used to start off with bronze then silver then gold. Now it starts off with silver, then gold, and the highest one is platinum.
Some artists have gotten booed and gotten shit. Mostly happens to new artists. Seasoned artists will always get the golden seagull. The platinum one is usually given to just one artist for the whole week of the festival hence why peeps are mad X didn’t get it even tho the audience went EXTRA wild for her to get it. Guess X didn’t feel like sending in the check.
