Sustainability Fashion Show Rules 2017
Thank you for committing to participate in this year’s Sustainability Fashion Show
sponsored by Housing and Residence Life’s Office of Sustainability and the Student
Office of Sustainability! We applaud your interest in promoting student commitment
to living in a more sustainable and socially just way.
Design Teams for the show may consist of 1 to 5 UW-Eau Claire students. Clubs,
organizations, residence halls or groups of friends are all welcome to form a Design
Team. One member from the team must be the model who will wear and reveal the
outfit to the judges on the runway the night of the show. More students can work on
the outfit but only 5 can be listed on the entry to be recognized the night of the
show.
The fashion outfit must be made entirely out of recycled or repurposed items. A small
amount of tape and or glue or hot glue may be used. Used clothing can be
repurposed but must be redesigned. For instance, a T-shirt might be cut up to make a
head band or a bracelet or bag, but it can’t be a shirt.
Each outfit will be judged on:
1. Creativity and innovation. This includes novel uses of materials - using a sustainability
theme as a basis for the design.
2. Execution. How well made is the costume? Is the model able to walk easily? Do the
pieces of the outfit go together? Do the pieces stay together during the runway
appearance?
3. Quantity of materials used. How many different types of repurposed or recycled
materials are used to make the outfit? Are there items used that are unusual?
4. Presentation. How well does the model present the outfit on the runway? (Models will
have the opportunity to come early and rehearse the runway out so they are
comfortable with walking the runway.)
The outfit will be scored on a scale of 0 to 5 (low to high) with a total of 20 points
possible.
Additional rules:
1. There can only be one model from each team.
2. In order for us to assure how many contestants to accommodate, your team may not
withdraw from the competition after March 6th, 2017.
3. The model will be required to wear/work the outfit on the runway in front of the
judges in order to be scored.
4. A written description and photos of the model wearing the outfit showing the front
and back of the outfit must be provided by March 27th and emailed to
[email protected]. The description should be no more than 300 words. (If a
description or picture is not submitted, the contestant may be subject to removal
from the competition). The description will be read during the model’s runway
appearance, so make sure it is appropriate for an audience of all ages.
5. In your description, please provide the names (and pronunciation) of your design
team and model. Information on what the costume is made out of is encouraged.
