How does 6163 SOUP work?

6163 SOUP funds creative or social neighbourhood projects in Hamilton Hill.

As a local residents, enthuasiats or supporters, you can join in this inagural event by purchasing a $10 ticket.

Your $10 ticket will buy you a bowl of soup and a vote.

You will get to listen to four-minute pitches from up to four people working on projects that will benefit the people living in Hamilton Hill.

At the end of all the presentations, you get to vote for the project you think benefits the Hamilton Hill community the most.

The project with the most votes will receive a cash micro-grant of up to $400 (depending on attendance numbers and donations received).

Can I BYO food/drink?

You can BYO dinner but no alcoholic beverages. Beer and wine will be available to purchase at the dinner, and all proceeds will go towards future Hamilton Hill Community Group events.

Are children allowed at SOUP?

Of course. We hope that we have created a safe environment where children can listen and participate. You don’t have to be 18 to vote at 6163 SOUP and we encourage children to voice their opinion. As long as they are old enough to make a decision for themselves, they are more than welcome to cast their ballot.

What is the schedule for the evening?

We open the doors at 6:30pm and start hearing proposals at 7.00pm. The presentations and subsequent Q&A last between 30-45 minutes. We eat when the proposals are finished and the diners are then able to vote on what project would best benefit from the collected money. Voting closes at 8:15pm, ballots are counted and the winner is announced.
