The annual Evento Wearable Arts Awards was held on Saturday, 30 July. Awatapu College students, and several other schools from around the Manawatu, showcased their Wearable Arts creations in front of a huge crowd at Manfield Park Stadium.

• Lucy Scrivener - "Countess Steambella" (Time)
• Bryony Gatehouse and Jenny Gatehouse - "The Time Keeper" (Time)
• Frances Harnett-Darlington - "Paper Plane-Mail" (Yellow)
• Brianna Dobson - "0800 Talk-About-It" (Yellow)
• Sophia Babbage - "The Summer Storm" (Number 8)
• Sasha Harrison - "Society's Demonas" (The Nightmare Before Evento)
• Emma Cunningham - "Mystical Hightopp" (The Nightmare Before Evento)
• Helena McLachlan - "Fantoccini" (The Nightmare Before Evento)

All students did incredibly well to create such beautiful and artistic costumes, and their models did a fantastic job on the night. Congratulations to everyone involved. Your hard work and effort has paid off in what was one of the most successful shows to date. A special congratulations to Lucy Scrivener, Jenny Gatehouse, Bryony Gatehouse and Brianna Dobson who were awarded prizes on the night. Lucy won the Year 9 Encouragement Award, Jenny and Bryony won the Performance Award in the Time category and Brianna was awarded 3rd place in the Yellow category. Brianna also won the Recycling Award for the Yellow category.
