Sweet dreams are made of peas

If you’ve ever dreamed of a vegan version of X-Factor then today’s your luck day, as dreams have become reality.

Although the contestants don’t get to stand up and belt out-of-tune songs at Simon Cowell, the 2016 VegfestUK in Brighton will offer people the opportunity to showcase their chosen form of vegan activism in front of a panel of judges, with an array of prizes up for grabs.

The FxEctive Factor has two categories – Vegan Activism and Vegan Performance – and has been set up to encourage activists to self-critique and avoid pitfalls such as xenophobia, speciesism, sexism or homophobia.

To enter, send a 50-word outline of your activism, or a link to your performance to info@vegfest.co.uk before the submission deadline on 31 December 2015.
