GeekFest contest rules announced!

This is not the prize. It's the Schneider Trophy.

GeekFest is proud to also announce the release of the contest rules!
Amidst rousing cheers and blaring trumpets, the rules have been added to the Contests page.
This year the following contests are being run:

• Geeky Cake Decoration
• Geeky Film Making
• Best Interpretive Dance Expressing Geeky Concepts (Performed by a Duck)*
• Children's Colouring

*I wrote the rules as a  joke. High command made me keep the contest. They are clearly madder than me, which is worrying.

STAR QUEENS: The Fierce Awakens

Gippsland GeekFest 2016 is proud to announce:
STAR QUEENS: The Fierce Awakens!

Note: Not Philmah or Art.

A Star Wars drag show which takes you on a fabulous light speed journey through deep space in a galaxy far, far away. Starring Philmah Bocks & Art Simone, the girls visit classic moments from the original films, incorporating their left of centre creativity and humour. Sourcing Australia's best costume designers, they have produced a set of jaw-dropping couture, accompanied by a fierce soundtrack mixed and produced by DJ Argonaut and choreography by Two Of A Kind. The show is produced by Philmah Bocks with signature twisted entertainment that both Philmah & Art are well known for, this is one epic show surely not to be missed.

Floor Games confirmed for 2016!

That's right sportsfans - this year's outrageously popular children's floor games are back in 2016! Held once again in the sustainability centre, these all-ages contests of strategy and skill shall include:

PegFlight: Using small planes made from clothes pegs, take to the clear blue skies of the Great War and dogfight with your fellow fighter pilots!

Pirates' Treasure: Lead your bloodthirsty crew of bloodthirsty pirates and they battle for possession of Cap'n Rumblegut's Treasure (bloodthirstily). This game makes use of wooden toy pirate ships and glittering multi-sided dice.

Winterloo: The massed sea mammals of the Duke of Walrusington march forth to fight the Grande Armee of Napolarbear Bonaparte in this light-hearted recreation of the Battle of Warterloo. Lead mighty regiments of cardboard cut-out soldiers to victory and hurl balls with wild abandon!
