Shorts in Paradise Film Festival
Surfers Paradise Festival is proud to announce the addition of the Shorts in Paradise Film Festival (SIPfest) to the 2012 festival program. Filmmakers from around Australia are invited to submit their short films to the festival judges, who are looking for cinematic masterpieces under 10 minutes in length. SIPfest is open to all genres – everything from documentary to animation – and will play to a broad audience. Apply online now and become apart of this inaugral event.
Australian Street Entertainment Championships
From 29 June to 1 July the Australian Street Entertainment Championships will be staged, bringing together some of the world's best street artists - jugglers, acrobats, magicians, puppeteers and musicians - as they vie for the crowd's attention. Australian Street Entertainment Championships is an international street performance festival in the heart of Surfers Paradise. As a major event within the 2012 Surfers Paradise Festival program, the 2nd annual Australian Street Entertainment Championships will see performers from around the globe perform and entertain to be crowned victorious and collect the major prize. The prize money is as follows – 1st place ($3,000), 2nd place ($2,000), 3rd place ($1,000). In addition, this year, selected performers will be provided with $400.00 each to contribute towards travel and expenses, access to the “performer’s only chill area”, and a 30 day Surfers Paradise busking permit. All performances will be on the Surfers Paradise Foreshore. A combination of people’s choice vote and the Event Ambassadors decision will be used to confirm the winners.
The Oneway Street party takes top billing on Saturday 7 July transforming out-of-the-way Appel Street into a showcase of the Gold Coast's sharpest musical and artistic talents; the Gold Coast's hottest indie bands do their thing across two stages, interspersed by contributions from Elsewhere's DJ roster.
A La Carte in the Park
The following Saturday to close off the Festival, A La Carte in the Park stars the city's finest restaurateurs in a groovy picnic blanket affair, transforming Lionel Perry Park, on the banks of the Nerang River, into a swirl of tantalising tastes, decadent drops and live music from the pick of local jazz and folk talent. With food from almost every imaginable cuisine on offer and nothing more than $10 a plate, A La Carte in the Park brings top-shelf dining to the everyday connoisseur.
