At the end of the voting we will announce the name of the city that won and invite the entire crew to perform the track at our concert – opening up for our headliners. Our sponsors PCDJ (www.pcdj.com) will also be donating a copy of their PCDJ DEX 2 DJ and video mixing software and an American Audio VMS2 DJ controller (MAC & Windows), a retail value over $700
