The organisers are seeking Fashion Designers who will qualify for participation in the prestigious launch award event “Fashion Designer of the Year Award”. The Event aims to provide established and new Fashion Designers with the opportunity of showcasing their creative and manufacturing skills.
“This Award has been created to give Designers an opportunity to expose their profile to an International audience. Furthermore, the Organisers comprise a team of Marketing Experts who will contribute in assisting the Designers to generate publicity through significant networks”, says Janice Ruffle CB Awards Ltd and creator of the established Business Woman of the Year Awards.
“There has been a burst of recent new talented Designers in Cyprus who have not received the recognition they deserve and this Award will give them a prime opportunity of strategic networking. I am particularly excited as the Award has received International interest and an overall popularity of Greek fashion in Cyprus. Furthermore, we will be expanding the opportunity for entry from Greek Designers”, says Britta Simon Best Event Avenue.
“Here at Semple, we are very eager to support emerging design talent”, says Award Ambassador and Head Judge Maggie Semple OBE, Semple, who has generously offered support by endorsing the Award to raise its credibility and expand on an International arena. Maggie Semple will be formally opening the exclusive event and available for press interviews, prior arranged.
“We are delighted to co-operate with the Award, which will provide great opportunities for what we firmly endorse at Aigaia School of Art & Design – to support, promote and create new marketing territories for Student Designers. We plan to expand our co-operation in 2017 to access further opportunities for Student Designers to enter a specific category in their honour and connect with International Design Colleges with this concept. We are equally delighted that we will be serving on the 2016 Jury and have accepted the challenge for our talented students to design the Award branding “DOTY”, say Proprietors of Aigaia School of Art & Design Nicosia, Cyprus.
The final entry date has been extended to 15th June 2016. The cherry-picked Jury of headed by Maggie Semple OBE, will first review a photographic portfolio of each Designer participating and then respond to a formal Scoring System for their final decision on one outright winner and runner ups. The Scoring will form part of the Award Ceremony with a Fashion Showcase presenting the approved entrants’ designs. The Award Ceremony will take place on 25th June at Moon Dance Studio Limassol, Cyprus.
The Organisers believe in a motto “you have to be in it to win it” and are looking forward to receiving applications from Designers with the confidence to explore new marketing opportunities by entering.
