International Art Competitions - art contest for artists

Textile design award

Deadline: 30 March 2020

The World of WearableArt Awards is an internationally renowned wearable art competition that, each year, attracts entries from over 40 countries around the world. The Awards Competition is an opportunity for designers to create the unimaginable, to challenge the conventional, and defy creative expectations.

For three weeks every year, the finalist garments in the Competition are showcased in a spectacular show that takes over New Zealand’s vibrant capital city of Wellington in an explosion of creativity. Today garments are brought to life on stage in front of an audience of over 60,000 people.

For designers, WOW offers not only prize money but also profile and promotion of your work, networking opportunities, and access to exclusive internships and residencies.

There are 6 themes.
Three of these worlds are recurring (Aotearoa, Avant-garde and Open) and three are created exclusively for the 2020 Awards Competition – Architecture, Elizabethan Era and Monochromatic.

Artifex is a Vilnius Academy of Arts - affiliated gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania, with a focus on contemporary textile (art and design), broadly-interpreted. It frequently features exhibitions by the Academy’s staff and students as well as prominent international artists, collective exhibitions and collaborations. Its intimate 36- square- meter space at the heart of the Vilnius Old Town often hosts cultural events and participates in the public life of the city’s artistic scene.
The guiding object at the core of the gallery’s focus lays materiality in all its reflexive and physical forms. It welcomes projects that engage in the topic in a variety of ways: from sound to cloth, from object to text, from thought to action. Thus, Artifex seeks the re-discovery of textile under new and creative terms and in unexpected and ever-changing circumstances.


No entry fee

Exhibition fee:
100 euros for week
