Speaking of tickets, here is the breakdown of delegate packages for this year - REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!!!

 

Venues & Accommodation

We're so excited to have two amazing core venues this year - our hub hotel, QT Canberra and our incredible contest/showcase venue, Llewellyn Hall!

In terms of accommodation, we're very excited to offer two BHA exclusive options this Festival!
The Village Canberra and Canberra Accommodation Centre have given us the opportunity to book out a limited number of dorms and single rooms at incredibly affordable rates, but places are super limited so get in quick or risk missing out! Booking information can be found here.



In addition, we also have FOUR hotels offering discount codes for the duration of the Festival!

  

  

 

Merchandise

This year's merchandise (and entire Festival brand) has taken inspiration from the Roaring (20)20s, featuring a mix of modern and art deco design elements. This inspiration came about not only because of it being 2025, but also the gorgeous architecture of Canberra!

Featuring our Gang Gang Cockatoo logo* (affectionately known as Henry), this art deco inspired diamond design is present both in lapel pin form, and on the back of our tees!

*in case you didn't know, the Gang Gang Cockatoo is the faunal emblem for the ACT, and we thought it would be fun to continue to feature state & territory emblems/colours in our Festival branding. That's also why the Festival merch and banners are ACT blue and gold!

  

 

Harmony Academy

This year's Harmony Academy, to be held at the gorgeous National Film & Sound Archive, will heavily feature our international special guests First Take!! The full schedule is still being finalised, but feel free to take a peek at last year's for an idea of what to expect!
