10c Container Deposit Scheme Proceeds to go to ABOTMA Young Performer Grant 

Mountaingrass is committed to being a waste wise event.  The Bright Community want to reduce waste from events going to landfill.  

ABOTMA is now a registered donor recipient for the 10c container deposit scheme.  We have pledged all funds raised will help fund the ABOTMA Young Performer of the Year Grant.

The Grant is $500 + a free weekend pass for the selected ABOTMA Young Performer of the Year.  The grant assists a talented young performer to attend the Mountaingrass Festival and aims to encourage them to play Bluegrass, Old-Time & Traditional Country music.  

In 2025, thanks to people who recycled eligible containers and to our dedicated waste management volunteers who helped sort and bag containers, $86 was raised towards the 2026 grant.
