WOW - World of WearableArt

The ‘intention to enter’ gives WOW an indication of how many designers and garments will be entered into the competition.

The information required at Step 1 is: Basic personal information, your entry/garment name, and the section theme. 

Note: Design teams of 2-3 members must nominate a lead designer to complete the entry process on behalf of their team.

This stage is when you must have a completed garment ready for the judges to assess. At the Preselection step, entrants are required to submit the following information via the online entry form:

• Garment materials
• A short inspiration: line about what inspired the design of the garment
• A long inspiration
• A minimum of four photographs (front, back and both sides) of your completed garment
• A short video of your completed garment

Entrants will be notified of the judges’ decision and successful entrants will be asked to continue on to Step 3 of the online entry process and send their entries to World of WearableArt in Nelson, New Zealand to participate in the first official judging round.

NB: This step is compulsory for New Zealand first-time entrants and all international entrants. A first-time entrant is a designer who has not had an entry selected to appear on stage at a previous WOW Awards Show.

Returning New Zealand designers are not required to complete Step 2: Preselection and the online entry process will allow them to go straight to Step 3: Complete & Submit Entry when they log in to their designer profile.

This is the final step of the online entry process. At this stage you will be required to submit the following:

• Photographs of your completed garment (if you have not already done so as part of Step 2: Preselection)
• All outstanding information required for your entry: long and short inspirations, materials, and model requirements
• Dressing instructions created, printed and sent with your entry

You will also be asked to thoroughly read the Competition Terms and Conditions then print and sign. The signed copy of Terms and Conditions must be included with your entry when you send it.
