Designer Registration Open: Sustainable Fashion Designer of the Year Awards
This September, we’re bringing a fashion competition to Street Works Earth to celebrate designers, artists, and neighbors creating outfits that show how care for people, communities, and the planet can be gorgeous, inventive, and stylish.
Fashion designers at any level — self-taught, students, emerging, or established — are welcome to submit one original wearable outfit that demonstrates sustainability. Designers must be available in person in Queens, NYC, September 20-27 to present their work (exact day to be confirmed.)
Designers, please register through June 26. You do not need to submit designs yet, only let us know you intend to. There will be more details soon, including full guidelines. What matters most to us is your learning, and care. For now, register, read the articles below, and start imagining what you want to create. Questions? Email collective@makejusticenormal.org.
Best for individual designers/small design teams.
Designers must present completed garments on a live model during the festival.
Garments must be safe: no sharp edges, toxic substances, or hazardous materials.
Designs must be original and created by the registered designer(s).
Respectful behavior throughout the competition!
Designers retain ownership of their work!
