Next Girl DJ Competition 2010
Next Girl DJ, a new pan-European contest that aims to discover the hottest girl DJ around and propel her into dance music stardom has launched.
Audio giants JBL and leaders in the sport and lifestyle space, Roxy are two credible brands synonymous with music and female culture, and are the brains behind this aspirational contest.
The contest will be facilitated on the world's leading mix sharing platform www.letsmix.com
Next Girl DJ will provide one girl DJ with a life-changing opportunity (not to mention heaps of prizes) whilst changing the face of dance music history in the process - in the recent DJ Top 100, only one woman was represented. Thanks to JBL, Roxy and you, all this is about to change.
This contest is not about slinging male talent to one side, but about providing a space for girls to showcase their skills. More females are needed to exhibit their talent in what is, still, a male dominated environment.
So are you passionate, ambitious and know how to throw down some tunes? Then what are you waiting for?
Here's how it works. The competition opens today and is open to any girl in Europe over the age of 18.
Entrants are asked to upload their mix to www.nextgirldj.com, using the mp3 upload function or Letsmix editor, to be voted on by a community of dance music lovers. The length of the mix should be around 30 minutes, but no restriction will be placed on the style of music. The contest will run online for two months and public voting will stop on 16th April 2010.
Five girls will then be selected from each location to go through to the semi-finals in the four music capitals of Europe - London, Paris, Brussels and Berlin.
The grand final will see the four local country winners go back online to upload a beach-themed mix at www.nextgirldj.com.
One winning girl will be announced, from public and expert panel voting, as the Next Girl DJ and will go on to play their mix at the Roxy Jam in Biarritz in July 2010, win a year's contract with Roxy to produce music, and a whole host of other prizes including a special customised Next Girl DJ surfboard, a Pacemaker device and stylish JBL and Roxy products. They will also appear on German DJ Anja Schneider's radio show in Berlin.

Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Alistair: ilikemusic because... you can relate to the lyrics and through music you can express your emotions and feelings.
Steff, Webmaster Musebr.com: ilikemusic because... the shows are very good, we make friends, we jump, and everybody scream so loud, and for a moment we forget all the problems of the world!
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
