It's almost that time to crown one lucky turntablist the 2014 VFILES DJ Champion.

In partnership with Def Jam Recordings, VFILES created a tournament to find the world's best DJ and narrowed down their search from 80 submissions to three talented finalists who'll battle live on September 3 at Webster Hall in NYC. The person crowned victor, which will be announced at the "VFILES Made Fashion" after-show party during New York Fashion Week, will receive studio time in the Big Apple, and the chance to guest DJ at Def Jam's 30th anniversary party.
