• A dramatic costume appropriate for a Royal Gastropod
• A talent that will entertain Eugene
• Consider a creative bribe for the Old Queens who are the judges (hint: handmade or artistic bribes make the best impression. The queens value creativity over expensive gifts. The bribes are not officially required but are a slimy way to make an impression and show off creativity and commitment.)
• Strengthen your connections to a local cause or not-for-profit organization. 
• Then get your slimy little pods on this application in by July 31, 2026.
