There are no rules for the competition, which allows all sorts of approaches, no matter what size your window or what materials you have to decorate it – as long as it features at least one hat!
We recognise that with such a wide range of innovative entries it is always very difficult to decide upon the winning shop windows.
Bridport has once again shown what a talent-rich town it is and all participating shops are thanked for their entries – which really do add to the spirt of the Festival.
However, a decision has been made, and the first prize is awarded to Lavender Blue, second to YMCA, third to Porter Dodson and fourth to Weldmar (East Street).
The Hat Festival’s Jacqui Lovett presents the winner’s trophy to Caroline House of Lavender Blue
Second place is awarded to Lou & Charlie of YMCA (They wish to mention that Ros Backhouse created the window display)
Amy Mowlem of Porter Dodson receives the third certificate.
