The New Follies Competition at the Australian Burlesque Festival showcases some of our newest burlesque talent from across the country! The Competition brings together burlesque artists to showcase their talent but also serves as a platform for innovation and creativity.

The excitement is palpable as these performers get ready to hit the stage, each bringing their own unique style, charisma, and flair to captivate the audience and impress our experienced judges. The competition aspect adds an extra layer of energy and suspense, making it a truly exhilarating experience for both participants and audience members alike.
