Entries to the open category must be a complete outfit, there is no specific theme and entries can be made from any type of medium, from fabrics of all kinds, to glass, clay, metal and wood to suggest a few!

Traditionally the biggest category, anything goes as long as it is a complete outfit. This category in the past has had many outfits submitted in non traditional materials, from willow branches, clay and many types of metal. Please pull out all the stops of your imagination and come play in the Open Category. Competition is always tough in this category, so make sure your work pushes creativity to the limit and wows our judges!
