The Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) continues to encourage the creative and inspired use of colour in fashion and textile design with the launch of the SDC Colour Design Award 2008 for students following a recognised fashion/textile undergraduate course.
The competition is open to entries from the following countries: Australia, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Each SDC region/affiliate around the globe, together with the AATCC in the United States, will organise its own competition based on a universal brief, with the winner of each heat going forward to a grand final in Bradford, UK next April.
Judging of the finalists’ work will take place on Thursday 17 April 2008, with the overall winner being announced during the awards ceremony on the evening of Friday 18 April 2008.
Deadlines for submission will be dependent on specific regional/country criteria, with judging generally taking place within the first quarter of 2008. All regional winners will be informed by the end of March 2008 and, along with the regional prize allocation, they will also receive payment towards travelling expenses and up to three nights' accommodation in the UK.
The global winner will receive the SDC Colour Design Award 2008, with a cash prize of £1000, plus the Veronica Bell Trophy. The winning college will also receive a prize.
