The i am me hoodie design competition
The brief.
We're on the hunt for a new design to feature on the i am me hoodies and official merchandise.
We know it has been a difficult 2 years for lots of reasons and one of the ways you can support yourself is to use art as a creative outlet to help with self-expression. Anyone can express themselves through art and you do not have to be an artist.
We’re looking for a design that captures the thoughts, feelings, worries and ambitions of a young person currently growing up in today's fast paced world. The winning design will sit on the back of hoodies and the design can be any shape, size or colour.
The competition is open to all students aged between 11-19.
Your entry must include:
A picture of your design. (You could draw it, paint it or design is digitally, it’s up to you)
A brief explanation of your design.
How to enter.
Email your design, along with your name, age, contact details and school name to: hello@iammeapp.com
Entries must be in by Monday 28th February 2022.
The winner will be chosen by an expert judging panel (scroll down!) from the fashion industry. The winner will be announced via the i am me Instagram account no later than the end of March.
For more information, please email: hello@iammeapp.com.
Good Luck!
Meet the judges.
