SDC International Design Competition 2010
It’s all about colour!
We are looking for the creative, imaginative and original use of colour to produce a truly distinctive piece of work in either fashion or textiles. This year’s theme is social responsibility, so the design should also incorporate an innovative approach to this.
Great prizes!
The overall winner will receive the SDC Colour Design Award 2010, £1000 in cash and the Veronica Bell Trophy. The finalists from each country will be invited to the grand final in London, UK in October 2010. This high profile, prestigious competition attracts significant international press coverage.
Who can enter?
The competition is open to undergraduate fashion and textile design students in: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, and United Kingdom (please note: final list to be confirmed).
