The Yacht Week announces its 2023 DJ Competition

Up-and-coming DJs can win the “best gig ever” with The Yacht Week, living on a luxury yacht for seven days and sailing around Croatia’s beautiful islands. As part of the “floating festival”, two lucky DJs will play in clubs, beach bars, a historic fort, and even in a floating DJ booth (where Claptone, Jamie Jones, and Adam Beyer have already performed). All airfare (from Europe), food, and accommodation are provided. 

If the winners make an impact, they could be a regular fixture at The Yacht Week events worldwide, including Croatia, Greece, the British Virgin Islands, Tahiti, and Turkey. Any DJ from any country can enter; they need to respond to some questions and upload a 60-minute mix. 

The competition closes on 3rd March, and the winners will be announced in late March. You can find out how to enter via https://linktr.ee/theyachtweek (DJ Competition Application).

Last year, The Yacht Week ran its first competition to find new resident DJ talent, and the results were impressive. This year, the competition is getting bigger and better. Dutch house DJ Toph won last year’s competition and said of his experience, “For me, The Yacht Week was the sickest opportunity to show my mixing skills at the most insane parties and to the most amazing crowds. Winning the resident DJ competition brought me so much closer to my big goals as a DJ, and I created memories I never want to let go. My recommendation? If you’re the new kid on the block and have something unique as a DJ, start creating that mix, take your shot at this competition, and you could become that big artist nobody wants to miss.” 

In addition to the wonderful week of residency, the two competition winners will receive a pair of Pioneer HDJ-X7 headphones from Pioneer DJ, a DIGI headphones bag, and a Slingbag from UDG. All they will need is a USB full of tunes, and they will be ready to embark on a DJ trip like no other.
