You can see the summer’s top live events for free courtesy of a new competition by the charity Action Aid.
As the list of potential festivals mounts up, so too does your bank balance. After buying the ticket you actually have to get there, which more often than not involves a lengthy trek across the country or beyond.
Well courtesy of the charity Action Aid you could be sent to some of the country’s top live music events for FREE! In addition to this, the winner of a new competition will be sent back stage to interview their heroes.
Titled ‘Bollocks to Poverty: Work it!’ the new competition invites fans to create their own event. The actual event could be anything – from a house party, a fashion show or a gig – but it must take place before August 12th.
Entries should upload details of the show onto the charity’s site, with the best event being judged a variety of top stars including Laurent Barnard from Gallows. Entrants will blog about their experiences, with the winner being the person who gets the most attention from the users of the website.
The winner will have the honour of becoming ActionAid’s Bollocks to Poverty Tour Ambassador for 2009, which involves visiting festivals and going backstage for a top music website!
Laurent Barnard from Gallows praised the charity’s work in a new statement. “ActionAid work hard to make sure people less fortunate are provided with the same opportunities as the rest of us. Bollocks To Poverty: Work It! is the perfect chance to not only do something positive for charity but to also get together with friends and put on whatever kind of night you wish, be it a rock show or a house party.”
“This could even kickstart a career as a party liaison expert which we all know would be a lot of fun!”
Bollocks To Poverty is a great way to involve young people in a worthwhile cause, which aims to poor communities work their way out of poverty.
