Whether you're channeling traditional farmyard guardians or crafting something completely unique, we want to see your vision come to life.

• Create your masterpiece at home using any materials that spark your imagination. 

• Your scarecrow should stand no taller than 170cm and come attached to a sturdy stake (wood or metal) for secure display. 

• Bring your finished creation, along with your completed entry form or online entry confirmation, to the Entries Hub at the showground from 9am Monday 19 May to 5pm Thursday 22 May for Friday's judging.

First prize will take home $50, with $25 for the runner-up - but the real reward will be seeing your handiwork become part of the Show's atmosphere, delighting visitors as they explore the grounds. Each scarecrow will add its own special charm to our Show, creating perfect photo opportunities and conversation starters throughout the weekend.

From traditional straw-stuffed guardians to creative contemporary interpretations, we can't wait to see what you'll dream up. So gather your materials, let your imagination soar, and help us create a wonderful display of community creativity at this year's Bellingen Show!

Entry is open to everyone - families, individuals, schools, and community groups. Submit your entry through ShowdayOnline, just like other Pavilion entries or download an entry form here. 

Join in the fun and be part of making our Show even more special this year!
