Clothing and patchwork must be made by a Seminole or Miccosukee tribal member within the last six months. The youth contests encompass three categories: Old Style, Traditional, and Contemporary. This year, there are six adult clothing contest categories: Style, Traditional, Jackets (Men only), Skirts (Women only), Modern, and Contemporary. Adult and youth clothing contests are still a large part of Tribal Fair today. In clothing contests, judges score based on the style, designs, and quality of their handmade clothing and patchwork.
