Please work with your model, share ideas on how to best present the work, think about movements that will enhance your work. Your model will have several minutes on the stage. She does not want to be standing still all this time, be aware that performance will be taken into consideration during the judging. As an incentive for your model (or yourself if you are modelling your own work) we are offering a prize for the Best Performance by a model in each of the design sections. This will be an extra prize in each section and will be judged separately. If you have a particular look in mind for your models hair, remember this is to be your work also and up to you to create. Body paint is permitted. If you are designing and modelling your own work you may bring a helper with you. Your helper must be from your peer group, not a parent.

Please think carefully about how wearable your costume is, how will your model put it on? Make sure that your fastenings are concealed and that the whole costume stays together when worn. Your costume must be wearable, fit through single doorways and be safely worn up and down several flights of stairs and around the stage you will be disqualified if your costume does not fit this requirement. The costume must allow you to see clearly so that you are able to model it safely and unaided. You are not allowed to use glitter or sequins on your costume. This is a requirement from Manfield Park to help preserve the floor. You will be required to provide your own model. Please choose your model carefully as a portion of the judging is based upon stage presentation/performance. A good model will bring your design to life! If you need assistance in finding a model, let us know and we will help you. If you do not want to keep your costume or are unable to please donate it to us rather than throwing it out. We are asked to put on displays and shows frequently and it would be great to have a collection of costumes for this. Your written work is a compulsory part of the show and is required by July 20th but could be emailed to us earlier. Please put it on to a disk or flash drive to make it easier for us. Your costume must have a title and we need 40 words or less describing your costume. This just needs to be brief we will edit your work if necessary. A brief portfolio is also a requirement.. This involves using 3 A3 pages to illustrate your research, ideas and concept development. This is not intended to be an onorous task, rather it should be what you are doing anyway. The portfolio itself will not be judged. It is intended to aid the judges to see how you have been inspired. If you wish to apply for the design Scholarship, you must submit a larger portfolio (around 12 pages). If you are also using this for NCEA you may photocopy relevent sections of your planning. In this case, the portfolio will be judged in conjunction with your completed design. There will be a prize for the best use of recycling so please keep this in mind, look at op shops, the art recycling centre in Square Edge, Trade Me. Try and reuse products rather than buying new. You do not need to spend a lot of money to make an amazing costume. Think outside the box! Are you a member of Facebook?
