Judging criteria will be as follows;

  • Stage 1: The Judges will vet the contestants  based on mixing, choice of music, scratching, versatility / innovativeness, crowd reaction, mic technique, image/swagger, originality and creativity, stage presence, confidence, equipment know-how and levels control.  The top three contestants will move to the last stage.
  • Stage 2: The three finalists will then play behind a screen for anonymity, from which the crowd acclamation and noise barometer readings will determine the winner. At this stage, stringent measures will be put into place to ensure complete anonymity of the contestants including:-

o   No drops, or idents (DJ signature)

o   Finalists not hyping the crowd  while spinning – to eliminate identifying who the DJ is

o   Finalists not using phones once behind the screen.
