"Last year's Campus DJ search was a huge success and the winner, Nosipo Tisani from CPUT Cape Town, has been trained and has been hosting her own Sunday morning show since the beginning of May 2010. We look forward to the next search as it is a great opportunity for the station to get in touch with fresh new talent," says programme manager Gerard Muller.
The aim of this search is to find the best on air DJ from campuses around the city. Campuses that agreed to participate in this search are the University of the Western Cape (UWC), Stellenbosch University, Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Cape Town and Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Bellville. Students from independent institutions can also try out for the Campus DJ search, by going to the N1 City between 12-2pm on 26-27 February 2011 for auditions. All entrants must students, registered at a tertiary institution.
Ebrahiem Inglis will be the MC at all the campuses to guide all the contenders through the judging process. The panel of judges will include Sean O (presenter of the Good Hope FM Top 30 and Good Hope FM UK Top 40 shows), Carl Wastie (presenter of The Teen Show), Gerard Muller, (programme manager) and Natano Brache (station manager).
Each campus/venue will be visited for two days. The first day will be an open MIC session, where anyone can try out and the panel of judges will then choose a group of finalists. On day two, the finalists will get to try out again in order for the panel of judges to then choose one person who will represent their campus in the final, on-air leg of this competition.
Once a finalist has been selected from each venue, he or she will get the opportunity to co-host a show with Ebrahiem Inglis. The judges will then determine who the overall winner will be and will offer the winner a DJ contract on Good Hope FM.
Each of the campuses below will be visited between 1-2pm.
