We inspire creativity and reward excellence in the field of Wearable Art

Through a variety of events during the year, we strive to showcase the best in imaginative Hair, Makeup, Costuming, and Digital Art.

The focal point of our season is a Public Display of exceptional designs culminating in a Gala Event where finalists present their work and receive awards.
