H&M is always looking out for new talent from the world’s major design colleges. That’s why we’ve created the H&M Design Award, to support and celebrate the work of graduating designers. The prize is €50,000 and the winner will also get to develop key pieces from their collection to be sold at H&M.
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 onwomenswear, menswear, kidswear or a mixed application.
Eligibility
You must plan to graduate from a 2016 BA or MA qualifying program (or equivalent to that) from a participating college.
Prize
If you make it to the final eight and thereby become a finalist, you win 5,000 EUR(approx. 5,580 USD).
If your flow continues and you become the overall winner you will receive a prize sum of 50,000 EUR (approx. 55,800 USD) plus the chance to show your graduation collection at Fashion Week Stockholm in January 2017. The winner will also get to develop key pieces from their collection to be sold in selected H&M stores.
