A competition launched by Ed Sheeran and Guitar Center giving unsigned or emerging musicians the chance to open for Sheeran during his Loop Tour has deleted content after "Free Palestine" videos were added to the competition feed.

The competition titled “Open for Legends” gives one act the chance to open for Sheeran during his Loop Tour and opened for entries earlier this week.
