The 60th Anniversary of Foundation of People’s Republic of China will be held in the year of 2009 and it properly coincides with the theme of Hempel Award Contest. We believe that designers from different countries and regions will bring us the various national day fashion show.

There are all sorts of strange reasons for establishing one country: some countries set the date of founding for the National Day, some set the date of conquering the former capital, some set the independence day of the country, some set the birthday of the president etc, and different countries have various national day receptions. We believe that young fashion designers from all over the world will bring us excellent inspiration and culture background.
