It's that time of the year again. The whole town is assembled at the central park, ready for that one traditional competition the town is well-known for. The host (usually the mayor) will be there to explain the rules, introduce the winning prize and start the event.

Everyone in town will either participate or join the audience, depending on how athletic they are. The contest will always start with a fireworks shot, followed by a crowd shot and depending on how much time there is still left for this episode, a couple of shots of minor contestants before moving on to the main characters wishing each other good luck.

Expect the {{Competition Freak}}s to be wearing sports uniforms during the entire episode. The prankster, the bad guy and the bungling inventor will not miss this opportunity to somehow rig the game.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': In [[Recap/WinxClubS1E8AFriendshipSundered "A Friendship Sundered"]], riders from all across Magix city are competing in a race à propos the Day of the Rose. Amongst the contestants, we have three of the Specialists and Darcy. If her participation sounds odd, well, that's because she's there to make it seem as if Riven's friends have sabotaged him and then swoop in to rescue him.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Many episodes feature the cast coming across some town in the middle of a themed Pokemon competition like flying, skateboarding, cooking, dancing, etc. Taken to ridiculous levels during the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesSunAndMoon Sun & Moon]]'' saga where, due to the story being grounded for the most part on Melemele Island, the only city there had ''multiple'' contests.
