The contest is as such:

You and one other person will compete against six NPCs. You have to string together your moves into combos that look appealing and are powerful at te same time.

Appeals
You have to make an amusing and/or impressive scene that is directed by you. You may use one prop (or type of prop), not including costumes. Once you are done, three judges will put the four winners up on the board.

Battles
You will have to take down the opponent's pokemon, or at least make yours seem more appealing in it's battle strategy. Instead of Hit Points, Appeal Points are used.Once it hits zero, you lose. This is done in a tournament style from the winners of the previous round. Once there's a definate winner, the ribbon will then be awarded to them.
