New Opportunity

 

I am delighted to invite your students to participate in The Banners We Wear, the $10,000 prize for Metaverse Fashion Week, 9-12 April 2025. 

The Banners We Wear

The Banners We Wear challenges students to turn virtual fashion into a powerful statement of identity, resilience, and hope. Participants are invited to create wearable banners — visual declarations of their beliefs, struggles, and aspirations. In a world where personal freedoms are increasingly challenged, virtual worlds offer an important canvas for liberation.

The Banners We Wear is the first award of its kind at Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW). Dedicated to expanding the role of digital fashion in communication and self-expression, the prize is free to enter and open to students and emerging designers. First prize is $10,000 USD, with two runner-up prizes of $2,500. Winning designs will be transformed into virtual "Wearables" and debut on the main MVFW runway.

Deadline: Sunday, March 2, 2025
