Multicultural Artist are urged to submit promotional kits to the World Buskers Festival held each year in Christchurch New Zealand. A observation of the 2011 festival indicated that besides local Maori entertainers their were few if any artists from ethnically diverse backgrounds from around the world at this event. Return flights are quite reasonable to Christchurch and the travel time is around 3.5 hours ex Brisbane and the South Island is one of the most beautiful places on earth to visit.
The 2011 World Buskers Festival will take place January 20 - 30, 2011(missed out this year then put in for the 2012 event in Christchurch New Zealand)

The World Buskers Festival is an invite only event. Artists seeking to be considered for the 2012 Festival should send a recent promotional kit by July 20, 2011 to:
