The feathers will fly when Australia's emerging and professional burlesque performers battle it out for the title of Miss Burlesque Australia across the country in July - August 2010!

Burlesque performers around the country are hard at work perfecting their routines for Australia's first world class competition in the genre, Miss Burlesque Australia.

Out of 300 applicants, 60 finalists have been selected to compete at State Heats across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Hobart, all with the aim of being crowned Miss Burlesque in their state, and ultimately, Miss Burlesque Australia, plus a prize pool worth over $10,000 including a return trip to Paris, cash, costumes and more.
