Sponsored by Celebrity Cruises, the GPL tailgate competition is a highlight of the Lexus International Gay Polo Tournament – Presented by Douglas Elliman Real Estate and distinguishes it from any other event.

Each year tailgaters vie to be recognized by the judges in one of five categories, with creativity and luxury in no short supply. Some suggestions on how to win the coveted Celebrity Cruise’s Best in Show Award are:

* Take advantage of a well-known theme
* Plan your theme down to the last detail
* Open up your tailgate to event attendees
* Share themed food and drink in the spirit of fun
* Combine themed costumes, presentation, props, food and drink
