Five artists will square off for a panel of judges on Sept. 1 at Revolution, with each one playing a 20-minute set that’ll be assessed for originality, crowd response and presentation. It’s open to pretty much any genre of electronic music, so if you’ve been itching to see what the crowd thinks of your dubstep-inflected grime-trance or your acid jungle/glitchstep/moombahton hybrid, here’s your chance.

Submission deadline is Aug. 23 and the five semifinalists will be announced the next day. Enter right here. We’ll need you to upload at least three tracks.
