Now in its seventh year, the Leukaemia Foundation’s U.G.L.Y. Bartender of the Year campaign is gearing up to be even U.G.L.Y-ier in 2015.

With the help of the wider hospitality industry and participating staff, this innovative campaign has raised $6 million over the past six years to help combat Leukaemia and provide accommodation for families traveling for treatment.

U.G.L.Y offers those involved an opportunity to lift venue profile, show support within local communities, as well as earn a host of prizes for top contributors across Australia.

Over the years, U.G.L.Y has continually received praise from venue managers, owners and operators around the country for its ability to engage patrons in all manner of events and activities.

Registration for this year’s U.G.L.Y is now open across all states, with information available on UGLYbartender.org.au.

To get involved, simply nominate your most outgoing and charismatic bartender to be the ‘face’ of U.G.L.Y in your establishment and register them online or call the U.G.L.Y team.

U.G.L.Y staff will also be visiting venues over the coming months in the lead-up to each state’s campaign launch.

Queensland will kick off the campaign from 1 August to 14 September, with the rest of the country following from 1 October to 16 November 2015.

Registered bartenders will each receive an U.G.L.Y. Kit - a quick way to theme your venue and fundraisers, with tailored merchandise to boost fundraising from bar to bottle shop or dress up an event.

The 2015 U.G.L.Y Bartender of the Year prizes are as enticing as ever, with guaranteed prizes for bartenders, including Uberbartool™ Kits ($1,000 fundraising target), $500 worth of JB Hi-Fi gift cards for raising ($5,000 fundraising target) and the U.G.L.Y VIP Cruise Boarding Pass ($10,000 fundraising target).

To recognise the highest fundraisers and their venues in every state there is a $3,000 Travel Voucher for the winning bartender, while their venue will receive either a Hoshizaki Ice Machine or Lancer Beverage System products and services to the value of $7,500.

All prizes are provided thanks to the support of valued sponsors and partners, including the new U.G.L.Y National Wine Partner, Handpicked Wines, National Bar Tool Partner, Uberbartools™ and Principal Sponsor, Hoshizaki Lancer.

Register online at www.uglybartender.org.au or contact the U.G.L.Y team of representatives in your state.
