CHOCOLATE WONDERS OF WEARABLE ART
Chocolate Wonders of Wearable Art is again part of Latrobe’s chocolate festival and you’re invited to enter.
The basis of this event formed from New Zealand’s Wonders of Wearable Art. This competition challenges artists, fashion designers, crafts people or, in fact, anyone with a creative flair for the dramatic, to have fun and be innovative as they let their imaginations soar to create a wearable art costume inspired by chocolate.
There is a lot of diversification of interpretation and community spirit in the creation of entries with the saving of chocolate and lolly wrappers for use in the construction of these costumes.
All costumes must be wearable and are judged on how it fits the entrant’s chocolate inspiration, the innovative use of materials, how well it is created with the major factor being how mind blowing it is - the “wow“ factor.
Details are available HERE with registrations closing on 24 July 2020.
Garments to be delivered 7 August 2020.
