The Great Scarecrow Contest
As Halloween approaches, Pairi Daiza is getting ready to transform into an enchanting, autumnal and family-friendly wonderland. And what if, this year, you could help make the Park even more magical?
Scarecrows are making their grand return! Whether funny or a little spooky, let your creativity run wild. Pairi Daiza invites all budding crafters, young and old, to help decorate the Garden of the Worlds by creating their very own friendly scarecrow.

Get creative with pieces of wood, fabrics, foliage and other original materials!
Guidelines to follow:
- Scarecrows must be between one and two metres tall.
- Scarecrows must not weigh more than 5 kg.
- They must be made exclusively from recycled or repurposed materials.
- Foodstuffs or perishable materials are not permitted.
- Toxic and/or non-recyclable materials are not allowed.
- Accessories that could cause injuries are prohibited (e.g. knives).
- Scarecrows may have an emotional expression, but must not be frightening.
- Horror, bloody or gory elements are prohibited (e.g. a severed head).
Practical information
Scarecrows can be dropped off at the Mobility Aid, located in the Gallery of the Worlds, between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., from Sunday 11/10 through Sunday 08/11 inclusive.
They will then be displayed in the Oasis.
Please note: for practical reasons, scarecrows cannot be collected by their creators at the end of the Halloween period.
Pairi Daiza reserves the right to refuse any scarecrow that does not comply with the contest participation rules.
