Talent busks out in Geelong

A NEW busking competition, Geelong’s Best KiD Busker is set to uncover the top young talent the region has to offer.

Organiser Steve Thew said on the back of the recent Geelong Best Busker Competition he wanted to bring a similar event specifically for kids, to Central Geelong.

“Love Central Geelong are proud to be the major sponsor of this event which will run during the Central Geelong Storyfest event throughout the April school holidays,” he said.

“The competition is the perfect platform for young performers aged 3-18 years to showcase their talents and gain experience playing before a live audience.”

Geelong’s Best KiD Busker is a street performer competition where entrants will compete for a trophy, $500 cash and the title of Geelong’s Best KiD Busker.

There are a range of prizes to be won, with a prize pool more than $1200, that includes an opportunity to play live on Pulse Radio.

The heats will take place at Little Malop St Central, corner Moorabool St and Lt Malop Streets, Geelong on Tuesday April 3, Saturday April 7 and Tuesday April 10 between 10am and 2pm; with the final on Saturday April 14 from 10am until 2pm.
