Mask contests are events where participants create and showcase unique masks, often reflecting artistic themes or cultural traditions. These contests can take place in various settings, such as schools, community centers, or festivals, and may include categories for different age groups or skill levels. Judges typically evaluate the masks based on creativity, craftsmanship, and adherence to the contest theme. Participants may use materials like paper, fabric, or recycled items to design their masks. Such contests encourage creativity and self-expression while fostering a sense of community among participants and spectators.
