I understand and agree to adhere to the guidelines stated above. I also understand that if any guideline is not adhered to, it will result in disqualification.

For your Krewe to be eligible, you must reserve a one table (ten tickets).  Tables will be judged on the following: (1) Planning and Prep, (2) Organization & Neatness, (3) Theme Reflection, (4) Centerpiece, (5) Rules, (6) Decoration Type. Originality, creativity of table decorations, presentation and use of materials will also be considered. All entry forms received after Thursday, May 25 will not be considered for prize selection.

There are three ways you may decorate your table:

(1) Portraying your Krewe's overall theme: For example, Hip Huggers decorating to a 60s/Groovy theme or Krewe of Lafitte decorating to a Pirate theme

(2) Portraying your Krewe's YEARLY theme, if your krewe changes themes on a yearly basis: For example, Krewe of Warriors decoraing to their 2023 theme of Harry Potter

(3) Portraying the OVERALL Krewe Ball Theme: 80's REWIND

*If you include the overall Krewe Ball theme (80's REWIND) in some capacity, no matter your decor type selection from above, you will recieve additional points.

We will NOT be taking requests on table location OR changing your location during set-up on the day-of. NO EXCEPTIONS! Your assignment is made by the committee and won’t be changed. Your table placement is final, please do not ask!

Should you have a request to be placed near another Krewe, please list that Krewe below. We cannot make any promises or guarantees, but we will make every effort to accommodate based on the number of requests we receive.

I understand that the table decorations will be judged based on the theme of the Fiesta All Krewe Ball, not my individual Krewe’s theme and agree to adhere to the guidelines stated above.
