Trash Fusion is a competition open to all creative contenders in Ontario – the challenge is to submit an illustration and description of an idea of a dress made from recycled materials or reclaimed trash by March 18th 2010. Finalists will then be chosen to create their designs physically. The trash outfits will be displayed in three fashion shows around Ontario, and three winners will be chosen for a cash prize among other benefits.


Sponsor of the site – and prom dress empire – Fashion Crimes is seeking prom dress design submissions from creative high school students in Toronto. The winning designer will have the opportunity to participate in the creation of their dress with the design team at the Fashion Crimes studio, and every entrant will be entered in a draw to win a prom dress. Spread the word to your fashion-loving teenage friends – entries are due on January 28, 2010.

The CSPA Unmasked art competition not only has a $500 cash prize, the winning artwork will also be used in promotion of a great cause. The deadline is December 16, 2009. Thanks so much to Eden for giving me the heads up.
Run by the CSPA, this initiative currently has one primary component: a design competition wherein creative Canadians have the opportunity to design a mask in a medium of their choice for a chance to win $500 and a have their mask featured on the CSPA’s website and back cover of the CSPA’s inaugural magazine in 2010. Join the voice of Canada’s skin patient community and make it stronger!
Shopgirls, one of Final Fashion’s sponsors, is currently seeking artisans interested in selling gift items on consignment. If you’re interested in being considered, send photos of your work here with “Gifted Submission” in the subject line.

The byline for next year’s Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week is “made with love” – sounds familiar? But knowing [FAT] it won’t be the usual kind of love. They’re seeking inventive designers and artists to participate.
