The Marshall Mathers Foundation announced the launch of Eminem’s Love Your DJ Contest.
Eminem made the announcement today on Sway in the Morning on his SiriusXM channel, Shade45.
His foundation will be offering a support opportunity, which will aid Michigan DJ’s who may have been financially impacted by the closure of venues and events due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Love Your DJ will offer DJs from Michigan the opportunity to submit their best custom mixes via a SoundCloud link at siriusxm.com/LoveYourDJ for the chance to have their mix on air.
The first 500 qualified entries, in accordance with the rules, will receive the $313 cash prize.
Of the first 500 entrants, 15 grand prize winners will be selected by a panel of judges from Shady Records to receive a chance for their mix to air on Shade45 as a part of the Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover beginning May 2.
Mixes will be judged on sound quality, originality, and texture of the entry, as it fits within the sound of Shade45 programming on SiriusXM. Full contest rules, eligibility and submission guidelines HERE.
During the Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover, Eminem will also host his own show, “Music To Be Quarantined By,” featuring hip-hop songs he recommends listening to while at home.
