Rowany Festival Costume Competition
Held once a year at Rowany Festival, this competition showcases the costumers of Lochac.A different theme is set every year, and entrants need to meet the theme from their chosen time and place.
This year...
This year's challenge is 'a new technique'. Entrants will discuss an item that was made in the previous 12 months that features a new-to-them technique.
See the Rules for specific details on the competition, including entry criteria and experience levels.
How to enter
The competition is held during Rowany Festival, so check the timetable for time and place. All you need to do is turn up at this time and let Mistress Clara (the organiser) know that you are interested in entering.
You have 5 minutes to talk about your entry, including which time and place you have chosen, how you made it, and any evidence you have for decisions you've made.
See The Rules for information on our experience based categories, required items, materials and evidence.
WINNING
Everyone in the crowd is asked to score participants on using the criteria (or as many people as can judge depending on how many forms Mistress Clara prints prior to the event). The entrant with the most points in each category wins.
