After two rounds of public opinion based judging ten entrants will be shortlisted to become finalists – special guest judges from the industry will listen to the finalist’s productions and, along with their feedback on SoundCloud, three winners will be chosen.

The first prize winner will bag an all-expenses paid trip to this year’s Outlook Festival in Croatia AND will get ten exclusive dubplates of their winning tune made. Blaow! Plus a G-SPEED Q, courtesy of G- Technology by Hitachi, and an Impulse 61 complete with gig bag from Novation.
