Wanna Go To BIGSOUND Fest For Free? All You Have To Do Is Throw A Party

It's that easy.

OXJAM — the music lover's month-long party against poverty — is giving you the chance to head to the 2017 BIGSOUND festival for free with an awesome campaign. 

Registered OXJAM gig-makers simply have to thrown an OXJAM event in August and will automatically go in the running to win two Purple Passes to BIGSOUND, giving them access to all areas, as well as return flights and accommodation. 

"Our BIGSOUND competition is an awesome prize this year," OXJAM Project Manager Nadia Watson said.

"OXJAM brings musicians and music lovers together to do what they're already doing – playing music and listening to music – but to fundraise for a good cause while they do it.

"Also, OXJAM is supporting the live music scene and giving a platform to artists, which makes it the perfect fit with BIGSOUND."

To enter, register an OXJAM gig by 21 July, jazz up your event page (the most creative page wins), follow OXJAM Australia on Facebook and share your event — and don't forget to tag OXJAM!
