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. Send us as many mixes as you want for as many different genres. [color=olive]Each submission must be accompanied with a $20 entry fee in the form of a check made payable to Groovetickets[/color]. All entries must be received no later than December 30th.

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.

WTF?

I would too suggest to submit as many mixes as possible if I charge every single mix with a 20 bucks fee. :EatMe:

This contest is ridiculous but if it works we maybe make the same thing with our nect MP DJ contest. "Every artist has to submit at least 18 mixes and we sadly have to charge an entry fee of 2.956 dollars per set because we need to pay a lot for whores and cocaine." :ROFLMAO:

I wonder if that guy that was disqualified from that contest for using DJ Mixing Software will try and enter this as well...
