Redress Design Award 2022 Semi-Finalists Announced, People’s Choice Voting Open
People’s Choice winner guaranteed spot in the 2022 Grand Final Fashion Presentation
On Wednesday 20 April, the Redress Design Award announced its 2022 semi-finalists — 30 talented sustainable fashion designers from diverse regions including Chile, Nigeria, Vietnam, Hong Kong and others — and kicked off the voting for its People’s Choice Award.
The public is invited to vote HERE for their favourite designer among the semi-finalists. The winner of the most votes will be fast-tracked to the final round of the competition in September 2022, alongside nine other finalists to be selected by an international panel of expert judges looking for creativity, sustainability, and marketability in the designs.
All 30 semi-finalists will join the Redress Design Award Alumni Network, which offers ongoing support and opportunities to designers in sustainable fashion. The 10 finalists will also be eligible for career-boosting prizes, including a design collaboration opportunity with Timberland and a development fund of HK$50,000 (US$6,400) for the First Prize winner.
The Redress Design Award 2022 received applications from 47 countries and regions, including for the first time in the competition Guatemala, Myanmar, Rwanda, and Slovakia. The emerging designers showcased exceptional creativity in their use of circular design strategies.
