The team at Buy From the Bush continue to go from strength to strength, giving a hand up to businesses and people right across our rural communities.
Buy From the Bush have just launched a new national pitch competition for rural entrepreneurs and bush businesses, ‘Buy From The Bush – Big Break’.
In partnership with PayPal Australia, the competition calls on Aussies from the bush to pitch their great business idea via social media for their chance to win a share of the $60,000 prize pool to upscale or kick-star their business.
The winner will receive a package including $30,000, membership to BFTB Bush Club, a PR Package from the Regional PR Co and more. The runner up will get $15,000 and then the final share of the prize pool gets put to the people, a finalist will be selected as the recipient of the ‘Peoples Choice Awards’ receiving $15,000!!
“We are calling on founders, entrepreneurs, or people who have been talking about their business idea for years but just need a little push, to stand up and pitch their idea to the universe. And by universe, I mean social media,” says Grace Brennan, founder of Buy From The Bush.
Unlike many other small business pitch contests, Buy From The Bush – Big Break makes it easy for you to enter. The first round of judging will evaluate pitches shared as 15 second Instagram reels along with an accompanying uploaded 3-minute video pitch.
“Buy From The Bush started as an Instagram account showcasing the beautiful things available to buy from rural communities facing drought. I wanted to support other big ideas from the bush and give other innovative rural businesses the chance for their ‘big break’. It’s only natural we’d use social media as a channel to make entering easy and accessible.”
“It may be a mere seedling of an idea, a proof of concept or an existing bush business that needs a little boost to get to the next level. We are looking for creative ideas that have strong market potential and will deliver positive outcomes to local rural communities,” says Grace.
If you have been sitting on that idea for a while, or have a cousin, sibling, friend that you think should put their idea out into the world, send them along to Buy From the Bush – Big Break page.
