Theme
A unique and creative aspect of the competition is the incorporation of a general theme. The theme is most commonly a popular pop-culture reference, combined with a play-on-words including ‘toboggan’. The theme is incorporated into all aspects of the toboggan design, the technical exhibition display, and team members’ costumes. Teams are judged on their enthusiasm and general theme presentation. Our theme for 2026 is “Charlie and the Bogg-late Factory”
Technical Exhibition
Technical Exhibition or Tech-Ex is the opportunity for teams to show off their theme and creative skills in combination with their technical design skills before a panel of judges who rate, score, and test the toboggan’s physical durability, along with safety checks.
