Costume Judging Criteria

Want to impress the judges to win a prize?  Check out the judging criteria for some inspiration to turn heads and by meeting all the criteria you'll have the best chance at winning!


How to Register

People’s Choice Award
This award has been designed so that the public can vote on the individual or group whom they think is the best dressed. Judges will select the Top 50 costumes from the day (including category winners) and upload to the Chronicles facebook page for fans to vote on their favourite. The photo with the most amount of “likes” at 5pm on Friday 14th June 2013 will be declared the winner.

Team and Individual Costumes
To enter, you must register and present yourself to the Judges located at one of the outside pubs - Lamington Hotel, Westside Tavern and Carriers Arms Hotel.  You have from 10am to 2pm to register.

The Judges might be Judges but they may not always be honourable and could be open to “bribes” (for charity)!

Competition closes at 2pm on Pub Fest day.  The winners will be announced at 3pm via Facebook and the winners will be contacted on mobile.

Please note - photos will be taken of all costumes presented to judges for entry into the People's Choice Award or future promotional purposes.
