H&M Design Award is a design competition for students at selected design schools around the world. The aim is to bring up the most promising talents in fashion and give them a springboard in their careers.

Your collection should be based on garments, with at least four complete outfits per entry (no entries that are just print or accessories). The collection can focus on womenswear, menswear, kidswear or a mixed application.

Your portfolio (PDF/JPG, Max 20MB) should include:

• Resume/curriculum vitae (CV).
• A brief description of your collection and its themes.
• Pictures of your collection at its key stages of development.
• Images of inspiration sources and mood boards.
• Your color and fabric range.
• Details of any prints (if you have created them).
• Illustrations and fashion drawings of the collection.
• Images of the finished outfits (including campaign images or photo shoots).

There is no entry fee.
