It's one of the most popular events of the year for Rotorua and it's back in all of its creative beauty this weekend.

The 2011 Rotorua Wearable Creations'n Colour Awards are at their best and brightest this year, according to Barbara Cook.

Mrs Cook is chairwoman of the Rotorua Creative Art Trust, the organisation behind the event, that began back in 2003.

"There are so many amazing, talented people in Rotorua, these guys are pulling out all the stops. The youth creations I have seen are coming together fantastically," Mrs Cook said.

This year organisers received 67 entries, the most since the awards began.

A lunchtime matinee was held today, but Mrs Cook said the two big nights were tomorrow and Saturday and those people in the audience who liked to get a bit freaky with their hair could end up $750 richer.

"L'Oreal are awarding $750 cash on both nights to the man and woman who come along with the freakiest hair styles," she said.

Tomorrow night's gala extravaganza includes The Daily Post People's Choice award where text votes from the audience would decide the winner.

The People's Choice award does not have any influence on the final results.

Ticketing options include tiered seating, providing a fantastic view of the entrants as they strut their stuff, or tables of 10 surrounding the catwalk and stage with dinner and some drinks included.

A cash bar is also available. The gala evening starts at 7.15pm.

Saturday night is the awards evening where all winners would be announced, including the supreme award, whose winners will get a wonderful trip overseas courtesy of Harvey World Travel and Singapore Airlines.

People should get set for a spectacular, colourful production including fantastic music, large full-screen multi-media, lighting and entertainment.

"This is three hours of entertainment that will leave you asking for more," Mrs Cook said.

Friday's gala event costs $35 for adults (stands) and $20 for children. Table seats cost $125 each.

Saturday's awards evening costs $40 for adults (stands) and $25 for children.

Table tickets are worth $135 each. The Rotorua Wearable Creations'n Colour Awards are begin held at the Energy Events Centre, tickets are available from Ticketmaster.
