Costs

$250.00 per person [$500.00 per pair]

We have tried to keep registration fees to an absolute minimum. Food and drinks at the Registration and the Final Presentation are at competitor’s own expense.

Accommodation

Competitors will be responsible for arranging their own accommodation and it is highly recommended to book accommodation ASAP to secure a booking. 

Dunsborough is a popular holiday destination, so there is an array of accommodation such as caravan parks, motels and holiday house rentals. However, it does get busy, so we recommend booking well in advance.
