The competition will be in two categories, over-18s and under-18s, with top prizes available in each section.

The over-18s’ winner will get to host their own set in a London club while their younger counterparts will broadcast live on Optical Radio, also in London.

The sessions will be held in either the village hall, in Sea Road, or East Preston FC’s clubhouse, in Lashmar Road, and will last for about four hours. A full speaker and lighting set will be provided by AWOL sound system hire and the DJ equipment is being provided courtesy of Sussex DJ Equipment Hire.

A team of professional DJs will be sitting as judges.

To enter the event, visit Hedgers Newsagents, in Sea Road, East Preston, and pick up a form. Alternatively, email [email protected]

Applications should all be returned before the deadline date of Monday (January 27).
