Here's your chance to be a Ministry of Sound DJ for the day!

Update: The deadline for entries for the prize draw has now passed. Thanks to everyone who submitted their awesome ideas! 

Calling all budding DJs!

Our friends at Ministry of Sound DJ Academy are offering one lucky volunteer the chance to attend their one day Introduction to DJing course (worth £250) on Friday 25th May 2012!

The winner will be trained at legendary London super club Ministry of Sound by some of the biggest DJs in the business; with full behind the scenes access to all four of the clubs' DJ booths throughout the day.

The course is specifically designed for beginner and intermediate DJs and covers everything from basic techniques to advanced DJ skills.

You’ll get expert advice from legendary DJ’s in dance music history, a goody bag with CDs, VIP passes to the club and a certificate.

Plus you’ll get the chance to submit a mix to the DJ Academy team for the chance to be selected to play at one of our exclusive new talent events at the club!

Sam Barlow, DJ Academy Manager, explains why they're running the competition:

‘Here at Ministry of Sound DJ Academy we have two main focuses: number one, educating the next generation of future DJs, and number two, discovering this generation's new and upcoming talent.

"We’ve put together this really special competition to give young people who deserve it most, the opportunity to get behind the decks and spin their favourite tracks on THE BEST night club sound system on the planet!’

To be in with a chance to win this EPIC prize, just answer the following question by posting a comment on this blog post:

You’re DJing at Ministry of Sound and are asked to dedicate a song to all the young volunteers in the crowd - what song would you dedicate to them and why?

The closing date for entries is Tuesday 15 May. Our judging panel will select the most inspiring answer and the winner will be announced here next week. Get your DJ thinking caps on!
