🏆Runway | Bring it with statement sunglasses and make sure you sell it on the runway!
🏆Performance | Bring your best street style prop and give us a show! (OV Chip card, Newspaper, Pizza box, Street sign, Takeout cup, etc)
🏆Sex Appeal | Bring your own version of a video vixen.
🏆Realness | It’s summertime, so we want to see you shine, bring it in a multicolored look!
🏆Shake Dat Ass | What is street culture without a little dancing? No dress code required.*All categories are OTA (open to all) and will have ONE grand prize.
