🏆 Event Winners

🥇 1st Place — Carnaval is niet te filmen (Joost)

This cart takes the crown this year with an incredibly detailed build packed with creativity. The jumping car combined with smoke effects feels super original and immediately grabs attention. The fun theme emits Carnaval energy throughout the entire float, while the small "show" element acts as the cherry on top. With numerous rotations and moving parts, the cart feels dynamic and alive, and the theme is consistently visible in every corner of the creation.

🥈 2nd Place — indiatiki LevyNiek muziek wagen 1 (LevyNiek)

LevyNieksecured a close second place with a densely detailed entry full of fun discoveries. The creative tiki mask stands out as a centerpiece, supported by clever use of existing objects and impressive moving elements, including a rising chair feature. The build is packed with rotations and motion, making it visually engaging from all angles. The tiki theme blended with Carnavalesque colors is a smart combination, and the custom characters, complete with colorful necklace. The show has a remarkable attention to detail.

The searchlight is a particularly cool addition that enhances the atmosphere, and the fully decorated tractor completes the presentation. A strong and detailed build that once again demonstrates Papagaaie’s dedication to authentic float design.
