The International Woolmark Award is one of the most prominent ones in the fashion industry. Aiming to highlight new labels coming from all over the world, its producers travel every year around Europe and America, in pursuit of companies with remarkable potential. Once the finalists are chosen, they present their latest collections during a show. Each finalist is granted $50.000, to invest on their presentation, while the winner gets the prize of $100.000, as a fund for their next collection. Some of the most coveted people of the industry, such as Tim Blanks and Grace Coddington, are the competition’s judges.
