How it works
Best in Show Honours

Authenticity & Attention to Detail
Judges will look for displays that demonstrate exceptional historical accuracy — from uniforms and equipment to props and presentation. Every element should reflect genuine effort to bring history to life.

Presentation & Engagement
Displays should be well-presented, visually appealing, and engaging to the public. Judges will note how effectively participants interact with visitors and convey their story or theme.

Originality & Creativity
Credit will be given for unique concepts, rare portrayals, or innovative approaches that stand out from the crowd while maintaining historical respect.

Overall Impact & Atmosphere
The overall impression of the display — including teamwork, immersion, and the experience it provides to visitors — will be a key deciding factor.
All judging is carried out anonymously. Scores and feedback are impartial and based solely on the criteria above.
