3. Scarecrows should be a minimum height of 1 metre and a maximum of 2 metres.

4. All scarecrows must be built from scratch by the entrant. You can use any materials you like to build your scarecrow; there are no restrictions.

5. All scarecrows must be made and displayed in good taste (specifically, designs

are to be non-racist, non-discriminatory, non-sexist and non-political). Any entrant
