The City Council of Camariñas has just announced the bases for the New Designers competition for the next edition of the Camariñas Lace Exhibition of the Provincial Council of A Coruña, which will be held between April 13 and 17, 2022.

The first prize will consist of 2,100 euros, the second of 1,200 euros, and both the third and the special public prize will have a financial award of 600 euros each.

The deadline for submitting works begins today, Tuesday, September 7, and ends on Friday, December 3, 2021. The four designs that make up the collection must have applied Camariñas lace and those that present other material will not be accepted.

All new designers can participate in the call, regardless of their nationality or country of residence, as long as they are students who are studying at centers that teach design and clothing techniques, whether or not they have completed their studies; and all those people linked to the world of design who, although professional in the field of fashion, are not part of a design team in this world.

Participation may be done individually or in a group, in the latter case the maximum number of members being three people. Each applicant will present a collection composed of 4 designs. The theme and modality are free for both men's and women's fashion. Children's fashion designs are excluded.
