The Game is holding two open casting calls on Bix.com that give aspiring dancers and freestyle rappers the chance to appear in a music video and on The Game’s next mix tape, respectively. The Game’s "Video Girl" and "Freestyle Battle" competitions are both free to enter. The official rules are available at www.bix.com/thegame.

"At casting calls, you know you’re not seeing all of the talent that’s really out there," said hip-hop artist, The Game. "These contests on Bix open it up to anyone looking to show off their skills and a chance to make it on my video or mix tape. I can’t wait to see what people can do."

The "Video Girl Contest" requires contestants to submit a video of an original dance performance to one of five Bix "booty shaker" beats, created exclusively for Bix by notable DJ Skee. The competition runs until December 1, 2006, when the top five contestants, based on votes by the Bix community, will move on to the finals. The Game will select his favorite performer no later than December 10, 2006, to be featured in his next music video.

Aspiring hip-hop artists can enter The Game’s "Freestyle Battle" where contestants are asked to submit a video of their best 16-bar freestyle rap performance. The first round of the competition will run until January 1, 2007, when the top five contestants, based on votes by the Bix community, will move on to the finals. The Game will select his favorite performer no later than January 8, 2007, to be featured in his next mix tape.

"We are thrilled to be working with The Game, one of the top artists in hip-hop, who believes that everyone deserves a chance at fame," said Mike Speiser, co-founder and CEO of Bix.
