Description

World of WearableArt (WOW)

World of WearableArt (WOW) is the world’s leading wearable art competition that showcases finalist garments in a spectacular stage show held in Wellington, New Zealand attracting an audience of around 60,000 people.

World of WearableArt is about taking art and adorning the body so considerations around the human form and using the body as a foundation should be central to your design. To enter the World of WearableArt Awards Competition you need to create a complete garment. Please also note that drawings and sketches will not be accepted. An entry can be comprised of up to three garments if you wish.

For over thirty years, the World of WearableArt Awards Competition has invited designers from around the world and from all backgrounds to create the unimaginable, to challenge the conventional and defy creative expectations as they make works of art that will be brought to life at the WOW Awards Show. The Competition is a unique platform to share and showcase your creativity with the world.
