WOW!

Yes I am a World of Wearable Art (WOW) Finalist 2023 🙋‍♀️

Fun facts…

1. This is my 8th time as a finalist.

2. My first time as a finalist was 18 years ago back in 2005.

3. It's a rigorous judging process just to make it into the show and I have had 11 entries that have missed out. So 8 in and 11 out, it’s a tough gig! My goal is to get to 50/50.

4. I had to fly with my entry to Nelson to meet the submission deadline as I'd fully run out of time, I arrived in Nelson with my entry 50 minutes before deadline! It wasn't a happy time but now I'm glad I did!

5. This is my first consecutive year making it through since 2007.

6. 2023 there are only 120 selected finalists and 23 different countries being represented.
