Kaleigh Jeffers and Leanne Griffiths.
Congratulations to them both!!!
1. First prize is an Antonio Pacelli dress bag which has once again been very kindly donated by Pauline Henshaw from Irish Dance Wear Australia. This year there will also be a special prize for the best design from a child under the age of 16. That prize is a pair of Corr's Irish softshoes which has been very kindly donated by Sally Kessell from Kilkenny Irish Dancewear. Both Irish Dance Wear Australia and Kilkenny Irish Dancewear are located in Sydney, Australia. All conditions of entry apply to both prizes. If the winner of the first prize is also under the age of 16 then the second best design from a person under the age of 16 will win the shoes. If there are no entries from dancers under the age of 16 then the prize will be given to the best design by a dancer (other than the dress bag winner).
