I will be joining an international panel of judges in Munich in April to review and evaluate the entries. The idea is that each participant applies with their most innovative product which is reviewed by us, the jury. The successful nominees will benefit from extensive sales and promotional services.

Innovative garments and accessories will be entered into an initial 8 categories from T-shirts, Jackets & Vests to underwear and swim with accelerated eco and smart technology categories added during the meeting.
We will look to honour products with outstanding achievements for sustainability and smart technologies.
Each garment entry will be evaluated by four criteria. Design, Quality and performance, sustainability and Value.
The products that fall into the accelerated Eco category will be elevated according to the level of holistic sustainability they have achieved. This takes into consideration the full lifestyle of the garment, socio-ecological impacts, raw material selection and the adopted social responsibility.
The products that fall into the Smart technologies will be evaluated by how the product improves the garments performance and user, end use.
