KEYSTONE STAGE BATTLE OF THE DEEJAYS

So you’ve decided to let your skills do that talking. Congratulations!

By filling out this form and submitting a video, no more than 10 minutes long, you are one step closer to competing in the FIRST EVER, BATTLE OF THE DJs.

Rules of submission:

Fill out the submission form by clicking on the Buy Ticket link. Once submission form is received an invoice will be sent for the $25 non-refundable entry fee. Your submission will not be reviewed until the entry fee is paid.

You have ONLY 10 minutes to showcase your talent. This gives you time to show off and have at least two transitions. Tip: if you have the capability press record and jam for more than 10 minutes then cut out the best 5-10min section of your mix. Don’t forget this is a video. We are watching you perform. Show us your stage presence. It’s okay to get down to your own mix. If don’t get excited, why should we?

This contest is multi-genre so you have no restriction on style. You can do one or multiple genres in one set. Whatever floats your boat, just remember your transitions are crucial. No one likes train wrecks.

Make sure your video has good sound quality. Audio is important! If you’re audio clips and we can’t properly hear your mix, it’s an immediate disqualification. You can submit another form but a second entry fee will incur.

Upload your video submission to YouTube as a private video. Please provide the link to your video in the provided space on the form. Please title the video with “your DJ name- Battle of the DJs” and in the video description feel free to tell us about yourself and your journey as an artist.

Entries into the contest will be taken UNTIL July 31, 2022.

If your submission is chosen, you will be notified via email by August 19,2022.

Entry submission DOES NOT guarantee your selection for the live shows.

Only 20 submissions will be selected for the semi-finals (10 @HMAC and 10 @ The Keystone Stage). Then 5 will be selected from each location from the semi-finals to advance to the finals. They will be chosen by 3 people in the industry as well as 2 audience votes to go to the finals.
