Headed by Skunky Pop
Garb
Have you modified ready to wear clothing to fit your Bel persona? Drafted and perfectly constructed that dream piece of garb? From russ to harem pants, tunics to surcoats, this category is for any garb piece not made from yarn. We can't wait to see what you've made.
Fiber Arts
This category focuses on the time, dedication and artistry that goes into the fiber arts. From crochet to knitting and weaving, hand embroidery to quilting. If you've taken the time to learn any of these kinds of skills, we'd love to see what you've crafted.
Leather
Every piece of leather armor, leather bag or belt has a human (or monster) behind its craftsmanship. A vision, time dedicated to honing skills, beautifully executed details. If this sounds like you, this category is for you.
Monster
Anyone who complains about monster garb being poorly made has never seen it up close. Monsters, we see you. And we want to fairly judge what you've crafted. From whole garb pieces to outfit accessories that take your kit to the next level. Dangling strings and torn pieces won't stop us from seeing your artistry.
Functional Mixed Media
Like last year, our mixed media category will be split into two sub-categories. Functional mixed media is for anything that has a functional use. From lock pick sets to chess boards, walking sticks to ceramic mugs.
Decorative Mixed Media
Like last year, our mixed media category will be split into two sub-categories. Decorative mixed media is for anything that is meant to be decorative or add to the aesthetic, but doesn't have a functional use. From paintings and wall art, to taxidermy and belt danglies.
Food and Beverage
Are you a home brewer or master mixologist? The dedicated chef of your camp? This category is for any food and beverage. If the food is not shelf stable, your write-up has to include as much detail as possible about how the food was handled and stored to ensure safety. Let us taste your delicious kitchen makes!
Judges Choice
As judges, we get up close and personal with every stitch and we see your time and effort through your write-up. This category gives us a chance to recognize that something special.
