Despite what everyone with an illegal version of Fruity Loops thinks, DJ-ing is not easy. To be good enough to stand out in the crowd of bedroom producers you need more than just skill and some epic keyboard shortcut skills; you also need to know promoters, club owners, bookers, and a million annoying people in line for the club's bathroom.Luckily breaks do happen, and competitions like Budweiser's People's Choice exist. They're searching for Australia's next big EDM name, and helping "rising" stars make the jump to "risen".Submit your best track here and throw yourself on the mercy of the voting public. Don't be too stressed though, if you win you get your sticky fingers on a $5,000 DJ Warehouse voucher and exclusive studio time to produce a limited edition vinyl pressing. So with that in mind, it's probably worth the performance anxiety.Assuming not everyone reading this has plans to be an open-shirted-super-DJ, there is something in it for voters too. Your opinion could get you a killer night out with your friends, plus flights and mad fancy accommodation, and VIP entry to the Australian Independent Music Awards (AIMAs).Submissions are open right now and close midnight October 27.Voting is open from midday October 28, ending midnight November 2.The four most popular artists as voted by the public will be flown to the AIMAs on November 7, where the Budweiser People's Choice 2013 will be announced.
