Contestants wear their original monster costumes to compete walking up and down the catwalk, performing one-of-a-kind feats in a talent show, and finally, in the ultimate test of a monster’s mettle, destroying a model city. The winner is decided by a panel of local monster experts, and has the honor of leaving with a small cash prize and the title of Portland’s Most Fashionable Monster.
