Wanaka's Perfect Woman competition is moving out of the town - but only 10 minutes down the road.
The 2017 competition will be held at the Luggate Hotel over Labour Weekend, the first time the event has been held outside Wanaka.
In the past the event has attracted national and international media coverage for its unusual set of tasks, which have included skinning a possum, backing a trailer and applying make-up without a mirror.
Competition founder Stew Burt said this year's competition would be slightly different from previous years, fitting in with the change of venue, which had a "rural flavour". In recent years the competition has focused on more "feminine" tasks but it still was not easy becoming the perfect woman.
Last year's winner, Rachel Rule, of Tokanui, had to beat 11 others, impressing the judges with her helicopter piloting, knife-throwing and fencing skills.
