The first judge for the 2015 Hastings Pak'n Save Edible Fashion Awards has been announced.
Supreme Award winner at the prestigious 2014 World of Wearable Art, Kate Mackenzie, has taken on the role as head judge.
Organisers said her expertise within the industry was "second to none" and would bring a "hugely important dimension" to the judging panel.
Event manager Joanna Smith described the appointment as "a real coup".
"As the event becomes more and more professional, we wanted to ensure that our judging format backs it up," she said.
