Magic Loungeabout asks you to speak your mind

This summer's The Magic Loungeabout is looking for speakers to make five minute presentations that inspire, inform and entertain.

This year the festival has partnered with Bettakultcha, who are a 5 minute idea exchange cabaret where performers give just a five minute presentation on anything they feel passionate about.

Anyone out there who feels passionate about any subject should write a paragraph of what they would like to talk about and why they should be the chosen one! There are only 8 places, but each speaker will get a free ticket to the event as well as one for a friend.

Presenters can talk about their passions, but no sales pitches, no theme, no censorship, no limit to the possibilities of performance - apart from 20 slides.

Please send submissions to Bettakultcha@gmail.com with Loungeabout in the subject line before the May 31st deadline. To find out more information about the idea, take a look at www.bettakultcha.com
