Calling All DJs: the Into the Groove DJ Contest
In association with Giant, BPM, and Indie 103.1 FM, Groovetickets.com is holding the first ever Into The Groove DJ competition. The Grand Prize is nothing less than an opening spot for a superstar DJ at a Giant event. You keep telling yourself that your good enough to take the stage and rock the floor at a superclub like Giant right? Let's see what you've got.
For clarification, we are looking for the most impressive mix regardless of genre. Send us breaks, hip-hop, trance, Drum and Bass, whatever. Just make sure you keep the mix under 30 minutes. And be sure to include complete track listings. Read this carefully: ALL MIX CDS EXCEEDING 30 MINUTES IN LENGTH WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. That being said, send us as many mixes as you want for as many different genres. Each submission must be accompanied with a $20 entry fee in the form of a check made payable to Groovetickets. All entries must be received no later than Nov 25th. Mail all submissions to:
Into The Groove DJ Competition
3362 Bellota Way
LA CA 90027
Be sure to include all pertinent information. Names, phone numbers, emails, etc. All contestants will be contacted via email upon receipt of submission. The winner will be notified no later than Dec 1st. And what will they get?
As mentioned, the winning contestant will be given an opening spot at a future Giant event. Obviously, which event will be determined by the type of music the winner spins. We're not going to have a Hip Hop DJ open for Tiesto. The winner will also receive an interview and bio write-up promotion on Groovetickets.com as well as a smorgasboard of free CDs and a 1 year subscription to BPM.
There are numerous DJ competitions out there that boast free gear and merchandise as their grand prizes. This is all well and good, but if you want to advance your career the only way to do so is to get in front of the people and make them dance. For many of you, the Into the Groove Competition will be your first chance to do that. Make it happen.

| yep, shouldn't have to pay to enter man...sounds like those college scholarship companies that charge you to apply for it, and then conveniently reject your application. |

This was my initial reaction as well. But it does have the positive effect of limiting the number of entries they recieve. |

But if they are looking for the best amature, why limit it? |

| I like the complete lack of official rules, or even basic details, such as age limits (if it's 21+, I'm screwed), substitutions, runners up, etc... |
