Calling all Western Canadian aspiring artists! Motion Notion Festival is looking for the next big artist to perform for their 18th annual festival taking place August 24-28. Motion Notion Festival (MoNo) is teaming up with event powerhouse Do604 to launch one of the biggest Dj Contests of the year, PLAY Motion Notion 2017. Talented electronic Djs and producers, bass music advocates, and funk warriors in British Columbia and Alberta are invited to submit their 15-minute mix via Mixcloud for consideration.
All contestants will gain exposure on an international level throughout the duration of the contest. There will be two key phases of judgement for this process, beginning with fans choice to select the first round of winners. Phase two will be a panel of industry heavyweights judging the Top 5 mixes to decide who comes out on top. Mixes will be displayed on the contest landing page until the submission window closes. The winner will be given the chance to perform on one of Motion Notion’s main stages this summer in the mountains of Golden, BC, and will also receive 2 guest passes and a complimentary glamping package.
