Businesses around the town have taken up the challenge and are displaying their creations in their shopfronts.
The Wear A Hat team have posted a gallery of photos on their Facebook page and judging will take place online on Saturday, March 28.
The winner will be chosen by the community fundraising manager of Brain Tumour Research South-West, Melanie Tiley.
Alexa Baker from the Sidmouth Wear A Hat fundraising team said: “We really appreciate the hard work and talent that have gone into them, especially as it’s not top priority and many of the shops have since closed.
