Tamworth Country Music Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Byron Bay Blues Festival. The ANBC is a celebration of all styles of music because the buskers that perform in this festival bring a huge variety of music to the event. Whether that be Blues, Jazz, Pop, Rock, Folk, Country, Bluegrass, Indigenous, Multicultural or Classical, the Australian National Busking Championships reflects the rich diversity of Australian music culture. Tickets for most music festivals are expensive in the ANBC all the street entertainment is provided free of charge. The audience can, of course, tip the busker but that is their choice. All this wonderful music is performed literally feet away from them. Although there are buskers at many music festivals in Australia, busking is typically relegated to a fringe activity. However, in this festival the buskers take pride of place. This festival brings music back to the people, back to the streets. How Does This Work The buskers are assigned special locations Busking Hot Spots, at various times, around the central business district of the participating town. A timetable will be emailed to all the registered buskers. Roaming judges assess these performances during the day. The buskers get to choose how many sets they would like to perform and whether they would like to perform for the whole day or just at certain times. However, all buskers must be available to perform in the Preliminary Finals Concert at say, 5pm to be held in an open air venue such as the town park. The prize winners for the age categories will be selected by a panel of judges at the Preliminary Finals Concert. The Open Age Winner for each of these regional championships will be invited to go on to compete in the Grand Finals in Cooma. A Worthwhile Community Event. In Cooma, we have found that from its first year the Australian National Busking Championships has helped local not for profit groups raise money through fund raising activities on the day. Organisations such as the Cooma District Hospital Auxiliary, Cooma Rotary Club, Cooma Railway, 2. MNO Community Radio, Cooma Swimming Club, St Patricks Parish School, to name a few, have raised thousands of dollars through this event. In fact, the main reason why the Australian National Busking Championships came into existence was through the wonderful work of the Snowy Ride. The ANBC was originally conceived to provide entertainment and fun for the 4,0. Snowy Riders as they pass through Cooma. Since its beginnings in 2.

Coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, motels, clubs, retail shops and service stations have all benefited over the years. For Cooma, the ANBC comes at a normally lean time well after the winter ski season and before the start of Christmas trading. To their credit, local businesses have got behind this event by generously sponsoring prizes for the winners of the Championships. The Rotary Club Partnership. In 2. 01. 4, the Rotary Club of Cooma offered their assistance in running this community based event. Ever since, ANBC has gone from strength to strength.
