The Fashion Industry Network is sponsoring a new fashion essay contest.
1st Prize : US $40.
2nd Prize : US $20.
ESSAY SUBJECT : Fashion Trend Forecast 2011
Write an essay regarding your fashion trend forecast for 2011. In other words, what do you think will be an important fashion trend in 2011. You are welcome to discuss fashion trends relevant to a specific season such as spring 2011 or Fall 2011. Or you are welcome to write about a trend that is not specific to a particular season. When we judge the essays, we will not be judging on whether or not we believe your forecast to be correct or incorrect. You will be judged more in regard to the passion in which you write and your reasoning behind why you feel you are on target to properly forecast 2011 fashion trends.
Minimum word count : 150 words
Maximum word count : No Maximum
You submit your essay in the discussion section below.
This contest will end at midnight on February 14th, 2011
You may include one or two images with your essay. If you want you can link to one of your images in the fashion photos section of this network, or to an image else where if you do not wish to include the image directly with the essay.
Judge or Judges : To be announced.
If you are interested, you can see an example of our previous fashion essay contest for reference of the process.
IMPORTANT : This contest in unfortunately only open to members of the Fashion Industry Network that live in the United States. The reason is that the prize will be paid by either check or by Paypal. IF you have a way to receive payment by paypal, you are welcome to enter the contest even if you do not live in the USA. The point is, if you can not receive payment by paypal or receive a check from a USA bank, I have no way to pay you...
If you need some inspiration, you can learn more about fashion trend forecasting on Apparel Search.
