Guidelines
OUR 2024 THEME IS BRAtzee!
Download our 2024 Call for Entries here.
Design a “bra” using any theme. materials, ideas, ect. as long as it is “G” rated. With our fun 2024 theme and all the new categories inspired by all sorts of games, you may choose to use some of our suggestions as your inspiration. But you do not have to. Your bra could represent your passion, your hobby, your business, a special interest, a pun, or a play on any word surrounding bras… anything is open as long as it is not offensive.
- Please remember that our display space is limited, so keep the size of your entry manageable. ONE PERSON MUST BE ABLE TO MOVE IT.
- All entries must be “new” creations. Please do not re-enter a bra that has already been previously displayed. Reusing Display forms is just fine.
- You can start with a real bra of any size and color or make one from scratch from any material of your choosing.
- Please include a title as part of the design. Your title can be something associated with your category or something simple, descriptive, funny, touching, or otherwise. A good title helps the voters connect with your creation.
- Please provide a way to display your creation. A lingerie hanger, a “body/mannequin”, frame, or some type of plan to mount it on a wall of grid. Lingerie forms will be for sale at Lenore Cole in Uptown Forum, 2610 Lee St., for $15 or $20 each right after the Kick-Off Party. If you need one sooner, contact us!
- Shameless campaigning ahead of time is encouraged! We’re all about raising money at Bras for the Cause! If you can collect money in advance to “support” your creation’s chances of winning, please do so! Each $1 buys one vote. Please have all checks made out to “Hunt Regional Foundation.” And don’t forget that your friends can vote online, too!
- Bras may be turned in at the Texan Theater Stage Door (2407 Wesley Street) on Mon and Tues, October 7th & 8th, from 10 am to 7 pm. Delivering it in a box or covered with a plastic bag will help keep it in perfect condition.
- We will have a form for you to fill out when the bra is delivered. Please bring the names, emails & phone numbers of all of the designers with you when you turn in your bra. We want to be able to thank everyone who participated.
- Bras will be assigned a number in the order they are delivered and displayed in online voting in numerical order.
- All bras will be returned to their designers. They may be picked up at Uptown Forum, 2610 Lee Street, after the event or on October 11th and 12th, between 10 am and 4 pm. Bras remaining after that date may be discarded.
- Online Voting opens on Tuesday, Oct 8th. Turn in your entry, get a number, and then tell all your out-of-town friends, family, and business colleagues to vote: www.b4tchuntcounty.com
- All Bra-makers will receive a ribbon to wear on the night of the event. And we will recognize those who have participated for more than one year with special ribbons denting the number of years you’ve participated by making a bra.
