MANGO Fashion Awards

The MANGO Fashion Awards offer young designers throughout the world the opportunity to participate in an international fashion design competition. The contest, which takes place every 18 months, has the support of five of the most important design schools in Europe.

The aim of this event is give young designers under 35 years old access to a new media platform, as well as the opportunity to keep marketing their collections. Candidates who have not had the opportunity to launch their collections but have at least 3 years’ experience in the fashion industry may also participate in the competition, as long as they can provide evidence of this.

The MANGO International Fashion Awards are open to young fashion designers worldwide who satisfy these two
basic requirements:
– They are less than 35 years old.
– They have already marketed their collection (even if only on a small scale). As evidence of this, they could present
a copy of a commercial invoice, a letter from a customer verifying that they bought their collection, or a document
proving their participation at an international trade show.
– Candidates who have not marketed their collection but have at least 3 years’ experience in the fashion industry may
also participate in the competition, as long as they can provide evidence of this.
Participants have the right to remain anonymous until Stage 2. At this point, MANGO will reveal the identity of the
10 finalists.

The admission of applications will commence on 15 March 2013 and will end on 15 May 2013. Therefore, the latest
date that must be stamped on the letter containing the applications is 15 May 2013.
All candidates should send the required materials and documentation by registered mail to the following address:
