Calling all pet lovers and their fashionable furry companions to strut their stuff on the runway.

Get ready to be dazzled and charmed like never before as the inimitable dog fashion show, Pawject Runway, returns for its second season. Watch your favourite furry friends strut down the catwalk and showcase their best tricks for a chance to win the grand prize!

The event takes place on August 10 at the Hilton Bahrain from 5pm.

Although this eagerly awaited event is based around fun and fashion, more importantly, it serves as a noble endeavour that’s aimed towards supporting Bahrain Animal Rescue Centre (BARC). Every participant and attendee will be contributing directly to the welfare of animals in need, as all proceeds from the event will go to BARC and benefit its tireless efforts.

The eligibility requirements to participate are as follows: entries will be based on a first-come-first-served basis; pets six months and below cannot register; only dogs with updated vaccinations will be allowed to join and participating owners are required to bring vaccination cards as proof of current shots given by a licensed veterinarian; exhibitors are required to provide their own collar, leash, costumes, water dish, pet carriers, props and any other equipment they may need to best showcase their pet. Also, all the equipment must be neatly stored in the holding area that will be provided to exhibitors.

The judging will be carried out by a panel of judges whose decisions are final and binding. The finalists will be selected on the following criteria: 25% for the creativity of the costume; 25% for the pet’s fun personality; 40% for the overall memorable impression of the dog (and guardian if they both dress alike); and 10% for the audience impact.

The tickets for this exciting evening are priced at BD5 net, making it accessible for everyone to join in the festivities and support a worthy cause. ✤
