We’re giving one lucky start-up the ultimate boost to launch their product or business with us at Summer X Salt Markets! As the go-to destination for surf and salty lifestyle stalls, we’re passionate about supporting entrepreneurs, makers, and creatives who are ready to make waves and create a better world.
Each year, we select one WA-based start-up founder or entrepreneur who has launched within the last 12 months. This is your chance to showcase and test your idea in front of our vibrant coastal community.
We’re on the hunt for start-ups that are making a difference – whether through creativity, innovation, sustainability, or addressing social and environmental issues. If your venture is about doing good and inspiring others, we want to hear from you!
Outcome notifications will be announced on 20th September 2024.

Recycled Towel Hoodies is an innovative project aimed at raising awareness about textile waste and pollution, particularly on our beaches. After completing the Earth Carers waste education course, Mabinte combined her background as a costume designer in Europe with her newfound beach lifestyle in Perth. The result? Unique hoodies crafted from recycled second-hand towels, creatively repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfill, and helping to reduce textile waste one hoodie at a time.
