Clever Costumes: What Judges Look For
Judging the Parade of Pugs is no easy task. The 2015 panel of judges, representing LexiDog Boutique and Social Club, KINK fm, Heal Animal Massage and OHS, deliberated long and hard over all the entrants. Factors considered during the costume judging include: interpretation of the theme; creativity; costume stability (few or no stops for adjustments along the route); and the time and effort that went into building the costume.
