Perhaps one of the most unique events at SeafoodFest is the Couture Coverall Contest. Folks start with that traditional costume in Ballard—the coverall. Artists alter them, decorate them or do whatever to them. The possibilities are endless! Just look at the photos from years past.
This year’s Third Annual Contest will be bigger and better than ever, with more participants, better judging and a trophy! 2003 judges include Tracy from Anchor Tattoo, a creative type who appreciates an edgy design when he sees one. Entries come from all over the community and make for healthy competition between area retailers, businesses and residents. Rumor has it that Archie McPhee is in it to win it!
The Rules 1. Pay the $15 entrance fee and receive your pair of vintage coveralls.
2. Confirm your participation to the Chamber office by Friday, June 27.
3. Make any additions or deletions to the coveralls, but keep at least half intact.
4. Provide a model for the event—human, animal or mannequin.

6. Provide SeafoodFest committee with your runway copy by Tuesday, July 22.
