Tokens and Busking Competition: How to vote.
The Festival is a competition, with judging prizes and a popular vote (see prizes). You can ‘vote’ for your favourite busker by dropping a Festival token into their competition bucket. These tokens can be purchased from the Busking HQ at 27 Lonsdale Street (outside the Nibu Building). You may also see our volunteers selling tokens across the Braddon streets.
You can also ‘applaud’ your favourite busker the traditional way (with money).
Finalists for the People’s Choice and Judges Awards will perform at the Bentspoke BrewPub on Mort Street from 3pm. The beer garden will be set aside for performers and the Festival audience.
