Scarecrow entries are judged based on the following criteria:

Creativity – Weird. Wacky. Pretty. Scary. Or all of the above! Think outside of the box and use your creativity to show us something unique and imaginative.

Craftsmanship – show off your skills with a variety of materials and techniques putting your scarecrow together.
