After 12 successful years, Corona Extra has teamed up with Ministry of Sound to take the UK leg of the legendary Movida Corona International DJ Contest to the next level.
Movida Corona International DJ Contest is a competition designed to unearth the finest, undiscovered DJ talent the UK has to offer via 6 regional heats and a British grand finale at Ministry of Sound in London on 16th October (see list of dates below).
Budding DJs should upload their 30-minute mix to the Movida Corona Mixcloud competition page, and using the promotional assets pack provided, promote their mix online through social media to gain the attention of fans and judges to help secure a place at one of the 6 regional heats. Each regional heat will feature an internationally recognised DJ who will aid the judges in making their decision on the night.
The winning DJ will gain entry into the European final of the Movida Corona International DJ Contest and win a Ministry of Sound Radio mix, a set at Ministry of Sound’s world-famous club in London, Ministry of Sound World Tour dates, 1 DDJ Ergo Multi Software Controller, 1 pair Pioneer HDJ Headphones and a guest slot at the Pioneer stand for their BPM 2013 event in London.
All participants should enter via: http://www.mixcloud.com/competitions/movidacorona/
Note: Mixes must be house music-based, 30 minutes in length and recorded by the entrant.
