The top three queens or kings of the manu will be awarded an official trophy, t-shirt and prizes – thanks to our partner Streets.

Prizes

  • 1st prize – a three-month pool membership.
  • 2nd prize – a 20-visit pool pass membership.
  • 3rd prize – a 10-visit pool pass.

We have spot prizes to give out on the day too: ice creams, pool passes and slide passes.

Thanks to Streets, we’ve got free ice blocks to give away – sweet.

Pack your togs, towel and sunscreen and gather your mates - show us what you’ve got – we’ll see you there.
