Attention DJs based in Michigan, hip hop icon Eminem is giving you a chance to win some airplay on his SiriusXM channel, Shade45.

The first 500 qualified entries—in accordance with the rules—will also receive a cash prize of $313 (the specific number being a nod to the Detroit area code). Fifteen grand prize winners will then be selected from the first 500 entries by a panel of judges from Shady Records.

The fifteen winners will have their mix played on Shade45. Submissions can be made here until April 29 at 12 p.m. Eastern.

According to Pitchfork, mixes will be judged on sound quality, originality, and texture. Winners’ mixes will be played starting May 2 during Shade45’s “Love Your DJ Mixshow Takeover,” hosted by Eminem.

The competition is an attempt to offer support and opportunity to Michigan DJs financially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
