THE MUSICAL FRUIT CONTEST Q&A

  • At Bush’s, we believe in beautiful bean goodness. Recognizing that many think about beans through the lens of the decades old “beans, beans the musical fruit” tune, it’s time to give the song a refresh through the lens of all the benefits that beans bring – plant-based protein, fiber and much more. We know beans are the ultimate pantry hero and bring joy to every meal. Not only are they good for people, but they’re good for the planet, too. The benefits of the humble bean should be spread far and wide in a new tune created by the biggest bean fans, which is why we’re engaging with creative minds nationwide to create a modern version of a memorable classic!

    Our Musical Fruit Contest is launching ahead of the 30th anniversary of our iconic “Roll That Beautiful Bean Footage” commercial. We’ve had a long obsession with beans and wanted to celebrate this milestone with a fun contest that rewards our fans.

  • You may create a video that is a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds that features your original version of the song “Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit.”

    Then, starting on March 25, 2024, bean-loving fans can look for a post from @bushsbeans and submit their video and caption to Instagram or TikTok using #themusicalfruitcontest. 

    The contest runs until April 18, 2024, so be sure to get your masterpiece completed and posted in time! Visit https://www.bushbeans.com/en_US/musical-fruit-rules-regulations for contest rules. You may only enter once.

  • Yes! Anyone passionate about Bush’s Beans, music or bean culture in general can enter the contest at no cost.

  • Any legal resident of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia who is 18+ can enter!  Entrants may be an individual or an unsigned band (“band”) that consists of a minimum of two (2) members and a maximum of five (5) members. You don’t have to master an instrument or be a professional singer to join in on our contest – we want to hear from fans who love beans as much as we do.

  • All eligible Entries will be judged by a Sponsor-specified panel of qualified representatives based on the following criteria:  Adherence to Contest Theme (30%); Originality and Creativity (30%); Expressiveness and Emotion (20%); and Video and Sound Quality (20%).
