Guidelines

• Have fun with the theme! Reduce / Reuse / Refashion

• At least 75% of the outfit should be made from would-be discarded materials. You may use, but are not limited to, plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, glass, and fabric.

• If you need base fabric to adhere items, please do not purchase something new. You may acquire such items from a garage sale, thrift shop, or borrow from a friend or family member, etc.

• All garments must be clean, safe to wear, and touch. No sharp edges, no glass, no liquids, or food waste.

• You may sew, stitch, tape, hot glue, rivet, staple or do whatever it takes to hold pieces together.

• Designers may not take items out of recycling or trash cans, other than their own, nor remove items from the Recycling-Solid Waste Collection Center or recycling centers.

• Don’t use anything new. Material cannot be bought. (For example, ziplock bags can be collected after use, washed and dried, instead of being bought.)

• This is an all-ages event - please keep designs modest.

• Submit 3-5 Images of your outfit (show front, back, multiple angles, closeups of details, etc.).

• Submit a Video of someone wearing the outfit. We want to see the model walking in your outfit as well as close-ups of the materials used.
