Lisbon, Portugal (PRWEB) May 31, 2013

With 1.1 billion users on Facebook and 500 million on Twitter, it is needless to say that social media is popular for every culture, gender and age. Two of the best opportunities social media offers users is the ability to connect with people located all over the world and giving them a powerful voice. The founders behind Indiegogo project, Hello Europe, recognized these benefits and have integrated them into their project.

Hello Europe is a project started by 3 friends that wanted to share the talent of undiscovered buskers to those all over the world via social media. The trio will travel to over 20 European countries to reward the best street artist in each city. First, they will narrow the field to the citys 3 most talented street artists. Next, they will record a short video for each artist that showcases their work, and share it across Hello Europes social networks. Then, it is the job of followers to vote for their favorite busker to help them win. Each Facebook Like counts as a vote to help their favorite street artists win, and exposes their talented work to the world. By simply liking, sharing and retweeting, followers can make a huge difference in a buskers life.

By using social media, were able to share this work, keep followers involved and generate widespread awareness, says Hello Europe co-founder Guilherme Duarte. That means people following our project from California to Australia and everywhere in between can hear and see the amazing undiscovered talent that exists in European streets right from their computer.

In order to gain an initial following, the three founders took their project to Indiegogo. Since crowdfunding makes funders a part of the project, it encourages them to follow the trio as they trek around Europe searching for street artists. This loyal following will help make Hello Europe successful in both funding their Indiegogo campaign, and also having an audience to vote for and share their favorite buskers.

With 24 days left in their Indiegogo campaign, Hello Europe needs help to reach their crowdfunding goal.
