………………………………………………………….…………………….

All nominees will be listed in a poll in the “un-Buzz events in DC/VA†forum on the Buzz messageboard http://www.buzzlife.com on Thursday, Aug. 7. Voting begins on this day.

• You must be registered at the Buzz messageboard in order to vote.

• Judges will listen for record selection, mixing abilities, phrasing, set programming and CROWD RESPONSE. You need to bring lots of friends to cheer you on. We make it easier for you by giving all those people reduced admission the night you spin.

………………………………………………………….…………………….

ADVICE: like anything in life, you have to actively pursue any opportunity to further yourself. This is not a popularity contest if YOU don’t let it be. Hand out demo CD’s, attend every local party you can, have your friends email their friends to email their friends and so on to alert people on various messageboards to links to your mixes. Announce any gigs at which you’re spinning. Once people are aware of your abilities, the more likely they will vote for you.

The nominating starts NOW! Send the required information to: alias_agent_johntab@mac.com Nominations will be posted on the Buzz board at 12 noon, Wednesday, Aug. 6.
