If you are a DJ and would like to take part in our competition, you have reached the right place.

Every year elrow hosts their annual Up&Coming competition, where upcoming DJs from around the world compete against each other in Barcelona to win a year with elrow. What that means is that one lucky winner will be playing for a whole year at different gigs around the world with elrow. Of course, this includes talent support, management advice and releases on their labels.

A total 6 finalists from the Netherlands will be selected

To select the 6 finalists from the Netherlands, Our House Academy decided to have a competition of its own; a pre-competition for the competition; with a total of six winners. With a team of judges, we will select the participants on the basis of talent, skills and of course motivation. Deadline to apply May 1, 2022.
