A trip to the Big Apple is just one of the prizes up for grabs in this year's CreationFest - and time is running out to enter. The window of opportunity is running out for those wanting to participate in the Wearable and Short Film sections of CreationFest and people are being encouraged to enter sooner rather than later.
If potential entrants needed any extra incentive to take part, it's been announced the supreme winners in these two categories will have the chance to jet off to New York and Melbourne.
Formerly known as Wearable Creationz, this year's CreationFest incorporates wearable art, short film and live performance, combined into a vibrant and innovative show being held over five performances at the Blue Baths in Rotorua in July. Official entries close on June 1, however CreationFest event manager and Blue Baths managing director Jo Romanes said if designers and film makers left it much longer to make a decision, they may find themselves short on time to complete their masterpieces.
"We are suggesting those who are planning on getting their entry to the stage and screen don't waste another minute; get those entries in today, and with school holidays, now is a perfect time for families to work on their creations together."
She said House of Travel had come on board as a key prize sponsor, with the Supreme Wearable prize including return flights for two from Auckland to New York, 10 nights' apartment accommodation, plus $1000 spending money.
