Can you out design Earl and his dog? Participants are asked to make rideable sculptures to circumnavigate the cable system.
So it’s a parade float on water.
80 % of structure must be cardboard. There is no limit to the number of team members. All team members may but do not have to participate in riding the “float”. You may also “Ghost ride” the float.
There will be 2 disciplines to the contest:
• Conceptual design - all participants will show there sculptures on Saturday night in the Blue industrial building. They will be judged on construction techniques and overall concept. The conceptual winner will receive $250 that evening.
• The best show or Grand winner - will be the culmination of costumes, “float”, participation, creativity, and style. Making a lap is a bonus! The judges will consist of: a member for the Alliance Wake staff, local Fort Myers Artist, and the creator of the event Earl Ball. The Grand Winner will receive $500 on the Sunday afternoon
• There is a $30 entry fee for all participants, which includes both contests.
• There is a $65 pass offered for riding all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This does not include any rental equipment.
Cardboard and other material will be supplied through out the weekend along with work space in the blue building.
