Your Shot was the launchpad for my DJ journey and the moment I realised this could become a real career. It gave me the confidence and skill set to step behind the decks and back myself. The funny thing is, I didn’t even win Your Shot, but learning the craft was all I needed. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to DJ locally, across Australia and internationally, playing clubs, festivals and events while building my brand as The David. It’s wild to look back and see how something that started there turned into a career doing what I genuinely love. The next chapter is music production collaborating with producers and releasing my own tracks, with a few unreleased records already lined up to drop this year.

What Is Your Shot?
Your Shot gives people with LITTLE to NO DJ experience the opportunity to learn to DJ and become part of one of the world’s largest music communities.
Applicants register online and attend their city's Selection Day to get selected. Selected Contestants will receive 5 weeks in person DJ training at The Academy in their city, where they’ll learn all the fundamentals of DJing and put together their first ever DJ set.
Following their 5 weeks of training, each Contestant will perform for the very first time at a sold out, 2-day Event Weekend in their city, competing for the major prize.
The winner from each city earns the opportunity of a lifetime: a performance at one of the world's biggest international music festivals and/or an unforgettable global music experience.
I Have Never DJ'd Before, Can I Still Enter?
YES. That’s exactly who this is for.
Once selected, you’ll receive 5 weeks of FULL DJ training, where you’ll learn everything you need to step confidently onto the stage and play your first set!
How Do I Get Selected?
Step 1. Submit your info HERE.
Step 2. Attend your city's Selection Day (all you have to do is show up!)
Successful applicants will be notified via email & text after Selection Day, same day.
You can also get Pre-Selected BEFORE Selection Day, meaning you’ll have a secure spot into Your Shot 2027.
What Is Selection Day?
Selection Day is a fun, laid-back event held once a year in each participating state. It’s free to attend, and you’re welcome to bring friends along for support (18+).
If you want to be part of Your Shot, attending your state’s Selection Day is a must.
It’s a chance for the Your Shot Team to meet you, hear why you’re excited to join, and see if you’re ready to dive into the experience.
You’ll have a quick, one-on-one chat with a team member - nothing to stress about! It’s just a vibe check to make sure you’re keen and ready to give it your all!
You are free to leave once your interview is over but you can stick around to network / enjoy some drinks!
Who Can Apply?
Your Shot is designed for absolute beginners—so if you have ZERO to VERY LITTLE DJ experience and are 18 years or older by your city's Selection Day, you’re eligible to apply!
To qualify, you should be at a level where a beginner’s DJ course would seriously boost your skills.
For example, if you’re excited to learn things like:
- Beatmatching
- Transitioning between tracks
- Using effects & the controller
- Downloading, analysing music, and planning a set
…then Your Shot is for YOU!
Even if you’ve played a few house parties or taught yourself the basics but still have a lot to learn - you’re still eligible to apply.
However, if you’re already comfortable performing full DJ sets using USBs/Rekordbox on CDJs/Controllers and have experience playing club gigs, your skill level is too advanced for this competition.
Please note: There will be no Wild Card Category in 2027 and past Contestants are not eligible to apply.
