Hat competition

International annual competition & exhibition

The hat competition is getting more and more interest at home and abroad and has built up a good reputation in a very short time. First only Belgian members participated from abroad, in recent years we have also welcomed German, English, Australian, Norwegian, French and American and Canadian participants.

Everyone can register for the NHV hat contest / exhibition, from renowned hat designers to passionate one-time hobbyists. The subject leaves a lot of room for the maker's imagination. This is clearly visible in the great diversity and high quality of the entries.

Maximum 50 hats can eventually participate in the opening hat show and the three-week exhibition that accompanies this competition. An annually changing jury sets the selection from the entries based on originality, quality and hat craftsmanship, from which the winning design is then chosen. The public can vote for her own favorite hat.
