A DJ competition, with a difference...

Wasn't really sure which forum to put this in, so if it's in the wrong one, feel free to move it...
Up n coming DJs! Fed up of shitty ‘vote for me’ popularity contests masquerading as DJ competitions? Fed up of seeing brown nosing wasters clang their way to victory in so many other comps? If so, Below The Belt has the solution. A blind mix competition, purely judged on DJ skills. How can you be sure it’s unbiased? Simple. DJs enter by turning up to our event on Friday 16th November @ H Bar, Hove with a mix, with NO DETAILS ON IT, BAR A CONTACT PHONE NUMBER (in capitals, because so many people overlook it), and put it in the “Mix Box” on the bar downstairs. This way, mixes are anonymous, and the best DJ is the winner. Yes, it’s that simple.
RULES:
1. The styles that we are looking for are – Garage (old and new), dubstep (all styles), UK bass, grime, drum n bass (all styles), house (all styles), breaks, Detroit techno, electro, UK funky, bashment, moombahton, juke/footwork, trap, hip hop, and anything inbetween. No psy trance. This ain’t a dogs on strings ting.
2. Entries must only have a contact phone number on them, nothing else. Entries with any additional info on will not be listened to so as to eliminate any possible bias.
3. The mix must be 30 minutes or more.
4. Ableton DJs welcome, so long as you’re doing next level shit. Doing a line of ket off your laptop before putting on a pre-synced tech house mix is not our definition of next level shit.
5. Judges will be the Below The Belt team.
6. The judges’ decision is final!
PRIZE:
The winner will win a paid set at the next Below The Belt event (which will be under a new name), and your mix will be passed on to our Brighton and Hove promoter friends, gaining you other potential slots. Which ones will vary depending on who wins/what style they play. You will also win +2 on the guestlist at the night you’re playing at, and a £50 bar tab. Y’know, cos we’re nice like that.
