QPAC presents BU$K – Australian Busking Competition

CALLING ALL BUSKERS SHARE IN $10,000 WORTH OF CASH AND PRIZES

QPAC is searching the shopping malls, street corners and parks of Australia for the most innovative, talented and audacious entertainers in the country.

Whether whimsical, witty, wonderful or wacky, buskers have an uncanny ability to grab our attention, delight us with their antics and then wrangle the loose change from our pockets while we cheer them on!

From amateur beat boxers to virtuosic violinists, clowns to contortionists, and statues to stilt-walkers, this unique breed of performers injects an unexpected burst of entertainment into the daily lives of pedestrians everywhere.

Queensland Performing Arts Centre is making a concerted effort to lure talented buskers from across the nation from the street to the stage as part of the inaugural Australian Busking Competition.

With $10,000 in cash and prizes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill your hat with more loose change than you can carry, balance or juggle.

Online applications close 3 July 2009.
