The Catterline Cartie Challenge is an annual competition for home made "gravity powered" soap box carties which is held as part of Catterline Gala Weekend. It was first held in 2005, and in 2006 consolidated its place as one of the highlights of the village year. Carties are displayed at the Gala on Saturday, where voting takes place for prizes such as "Best Engineered" and "Best Decorated". On the Sunday the carties are time trialed down the brae from the Creel Inn to the harbour in a breathtaking display of skill, passion and nerves, with the winner being presented with the Connons Shield and hailed as the "Supreme Champion". There are also prizes for the Cartie Sprint race, a Constructors Trophy for the best aggregate time and a "Champagne Moment" for the most memorable incident of the day.
