Registration for San Juan County Fair’s Trashion Fashion Show is open

Submitted by the San Juan County Fair Board

Islanders can now register for the annual Fashion Trashion show at the San Juan County Fair.

This contest is all about having fun, so let your imagination go. Be wildly inventive, think outside of the recycle bin, and try another persona on for size.

However, this is a family show and there will be children in the audience. Use your best judgment and keep age-appropriateness in mind. The San Juan County Fair Board retains the right to refuse the entry if it is determined to be inappropriate.

The first three participants to apply with a completed application will receive a special prize — so get on it!

Eligibility: The contest is open to all San Juan County residents.

Rules:

Applicants are invited to create wearable artwork/fashion using recycled, repurposed, reused and/or found materials. Pieces must be durable enough for wearing in the show. Vintage or used clothing will not be accepted unless it has been significantly repurposed and redesigned into something substantially “new.”
Use duct tape and newspaper sparingly in your design.
Collaborations are allowed.
To be eligible for the show, your completed entry form must be received in the Parks and Fair administrative office, alongside the main building just inside the Main Entrance, by 6 p.m., Monday, Aug. 14.
All entrants or models of the entry must attend the rehearsal at 6 p.m., Monday, Aug. 14, at the main stage, by the main entrance on Argyle Avenue. The actual Trashion Fashion show is at 5 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 19 at the main stage. Models can be provided, in a pinch, by the fair board.

Design Considerations: The venue is quite small, and backstage space is very limited. There are stairs and a runway. You may even consider a mobile entry, like on a skateboard, unicycle or stilts. Keep these in mind when designing your entry.

Ideas:

Create an outfit you could wear again. (Good design, well sewn, etc.)
Use recycled materials.
Re-use trash, i.e. items that are destined for the landfill.
Make something related to the fair theme. This year, it’s “San Juan County Fair..It’s All the Buzz.”
Register now; you may have everything you need right in your own backyard.
