Ø       Fashion Illustration

Include front view of the design only (face is optional).

 

Ø       Masks

Create the wearable mask of your dreams. Let it be “flamboyant, exciting and wild.” Your entry must “stun” the audience and judges. Masks must be completely constructed by the artist (including the base) using any medium or combination – paper mache, paper clay, plaster, fabric, wire, paper pulp, fibreglass etc. Entries will be judged on their overall creativity and originality of design. Models must wear black.

 

Ø       Out-rage-us (wearable art for grades 8 – 10)

Art that walks while you wear it – can be put together using any materials – sewn, glued or welded – anything goes.

 

Ø       Wearable Art for grades 11 & 12

This category encourages senior art and design students to demonstrate their creativity and to make a wearable outfit to WOW. There are no restrictions or limitations. Your outfit can be constructed using any medium or combination but it must be exceptional and make a bold statement. Be inspired by current social, political or personal issues or by events such as Mardi Gras. It’s up to you. The overall presentation and creativity of your wearable design will be critical.

 

Ø       Fantastic Plastic

Think punk or funky, pink or puce, but make it PLASTIC.  Calling all vinyl junkies – this category is made to excite – be it PVC or poly pipe – plastic is what it has to be. If it’s plastic you can use it.

 

Ø       Pulp Fiction

Fashion a wearable work of art using any combination of papers – rice paper, tissue paper, coloured paper, crepe paper, butcher’s paper, newspaper or magazines.

Ø       Red Carpet

Design and stitch your own red carpet style; suitable for after 5, graduation or evening wear. Make it glamorous and stylish. Be inspired by (but don’t copy) current trends and designs to create a very individual piece.    You may like to consider a variety of different textile techniques in your work eg external seams, different colour combinations or textural combinations where the surface of the fabric is altered in some way by dyeing, beading, appliqué, embroidering etc.  But be creative. Your entry will be judged on its overall presentation and whether it meets the above criteria.  These garments must be sewn.
