The Central Coast regional heat of the National Busking Championships will be held on Sunday, September 24, at The Entrance.
About 30 acts are expected to perform between 9am and 2pm and entries will be accepted until July 17.
Competitors will be stationed around Memorial Park and the Plaza and will perform a succession of half-hour spots in different localities.
They will be judged by three judges, but also by a popular public vote.
To vote for your favourites to get through to the award concert, residents have the option to buy voting tokens during the competition phase.
The concert will be held from 2.30pm to 4pm, during which time winners will be announced.
The competition is associated with the Australian National Busking Championships.
Winners of each section will be eligible to compete in the national titles.
Last year’s winners, The James Brothers, went on to win the national championships.
Entry to the concert is free.
Aimed at supporting local artists, it is organised by local Rotary Clubs.
Entry fees are $20 solo, $40 duos and $50 for groups of three to five.
All buskers will need to either have their own insurance, or a hold Central Coast Busking Licence.
