HOW TO ENTER

HOW TO ENTER

To enter the competition, young people are challenged to explore their creative design skills to create a sustainable and re-wearable outfit using clothing from the treasure troves of charity shops, swap shops, or reused items already available at home.

Nothing should be bought new to create this outfit.

The outfit should be created by a combination of creative reuse techniques such as repairs and alterations, upcycling and repurposing, as well as more traditional skills such as sewing, knitting, crochet, macramé and embroidery.

The Relove Fashion Team will be relaunching our new and improved Submission Requirements soon, keep your eyes peeled…

    • The Relove Fashion competition is open to young people of secondary school age across participating local authorities in the Republic of Ireland.

    • Entries can be submitted by teams or by individuals.

    • As this is a reuse competition, the purchasing of new items will lead to disqualification.

    • The outfit should be suitable for wear either as a day to day outfit, or something that could be worn for a special occasion.

    • The finished garment should be both washable and re-wearable.

    • Judges decision is final.

    • Artificial intelligence must not be used for the completion of the Submission Form.

  • The competition is open to young people in participating Local Authorities across the Republic of Ireland.

Interviews

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a brief interview to discuss their project.

The interviews are 10-15 minutes, friendly and casual, and we see it as a great opportunity to hear more from the entrants about the inspiration, design process, construction, highs and lows of creating their entry, as well as hearing about the research they undertook. 

Note: we won't be quizzing or testing anyone!
