Student Design & Innovation
Contests
As functional textiles and clothing rapidly move into mainstream application, FTC 2027 places a strong emphasis on student-led innovation, design thinking, and product development. Two flagship contests are organised to encourage young creators to translate ideas into tangible, impactful solutions. |
|
The Functional Clothing Contest
 The Functional Clothing Contest is FTC’s signature platform celebrating innovation in garment design and application. It showcases how clothing can move beyond aesthetics to deliver meaningful functionality in real-world contexts.... |

Poster Contest
The Poster Contest invites students to present innovative concepts, materials, processes, or products in the domain of functional textiles and clothing. Submissions may span any of the FTC thematic areas, including smart textiles, sustainability, healthcare, protective clothing, digital fashion, and advanced materials. Entries will be evaluated by an expert jury based on:
Top three entries will be awarded cash prizes and certificates. |
