The competition is aimed at VJ artists living in Finland and can be joined by sending a 1–2 minute demo video via FilmFreeway during 15 August–24 September. Participation is free, and the organisers wish to attract entries from a versatile group of artists representing different styles and backgrounds.

The final Live Competition will be held on 21 October 2023 at the Media and Light Event Projio in Tampere, Finland, between four finalists chosen by the Competition Jury. The venue is located at the Väinö Linna square at the industrial Finlayson area, where the audience can follow the visual live show and and enjoy Projio exhibitions. The Main Prize of the competition is 600 euros. Each finalist will also get their transport and accommodation covered, and will be given a participation reward of 300 euros.
