Creative, innovative fashion designers can now enter the 2025 International Woolmark Prize to be in the chance with winning up to AU$300,000 (£150,000).
To enter, you must have been producing commercially for a minimum of four years and a maximum of 10, show a yearly growth in sales and have at least one wholesale partner. You must be able to demonstrate an innovative use of fabrics and textiles, and demonstrate a commitment to best practice and supply chain integrity.
Finalists will receive AU$60,000 (£30,000) to develop six Merino wool looks as part of their AW25 collection, alongside mentoring on sourcing, product development, sustainability, and commercialisation. The winning designer will receive AU$300,000 (£150,000).
London-based designer Saul Nash won the prize in 2022 and said: “Words cannot describe what this means to me. I am so grateful for what I have gained in the past eight months. This really is the cherry on top for everything Woolmark has done for me.”
