Background info:
Tomorrow - Saturday 13 May, 2017 - YOUR SHOT presented by Alcatel, the grassroots initiative that has launched the careers of world-famous DJs such as Tigerlilly, J-Trick and New World Sound, has returned in 2017 for its eighth consecutive year. The local DJ competition provides a unique opportunity for Aussies to transform their passion for music into a career, and has so far helped more than 5,000 aspiring DJ’s realise their dreams in the Australian music industry. Last year saw a jaw-dropping 9,000 registrants and 700 contestants, with 2017 promising to be even bigger and better!
WHAT IS YOUR SHOT?
The brainchild of Australian entrepreneur Steve Pillemer, Your Shot has grown from humble beginnings to a highly a successful annual presence on the Australian music calendar. It now attracts more registrations than leading reality TV talent shows, enjoys long-term, well-known sponsors and has led to global expansion as it looks beyond Australia and USA to launch in China this year.
Now in its 8th consecutive year, Your Shot will continue to change the lives of aspiring DJs across Australia, and will unearth the next generation of the country’s most exciting upcoming DJ talent. Taking the east coast by storm, 2017 will see 800 contestants with little or no DJ experience provided with an amazing opportunity. All participants receive a superior experience as they are trained by some of Australia’s best DJ talent over six weeks at The Academy, where they learn the basics and put together and perform their first ever DJ set.
The final YOUR SHOT event in each state will see the contestants performing alongside some top headline DJs from Australia as well as the best up-and-coming talent. Every contestant will perform in the hopes of taking home the title of YOUR SHOT champion along with life-changing prizes, with the winners fast-tracked to perform at some of the best music festivals around the world.
AMAZING PRIZES!
Returning bigger and better than ever in 2017, the competition will see the State Contestant and Wild Card winner for each state fly overseas on an all-expenses paid trip to perform their first international set at one of the world’s hottest party destinations around the globe.
To highlight the excitement and share the journey, presenting sponsor Alcatel followed Sydney Your Shot winner, Natalie Dekker (A.K.A. Dekkadence) and documented her journey from winning in Sydney to performing on stage at ZoukOut in Singapore. The never before seen footage as she embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure can be viewed and shared from the following link: https://youtu.be/7JoFHBeNv04
The 2017 winner’s will get the opportunity to perform at one of the following popular festivals:
