Student Design Competition Home page

The Mission Statement for the Student Design Competition is:  To expose college-level art, fashion and textile design students and professors to the wonders of designing with alpaca fiber. By promoting the competition, we are ensuring the next generation of designers will be entering the workforce with a positive awareness of this amazing luxury fiber that can be utilized throughout their professional lives.  This is exactly what is starting to happen in our industry.
