Free and Easy in Phoenix: “Jack Take a Hike!” Fashion Contest
This year’s souvenir fashion celebrates the Copper State, and we want you to create a fun, chic, American southwestern outfit! Our favorite Outrageous rock stars need an exciting southwestern/desert look that should emulate a design for taking in stunning desert vistas (or a day poolside at a fabulous resort!) in cosmopolitan Scottsdale, one of the hippest cities in America, to be custom-produced as the official fashion for JemCon 2024!
Do I have to design for Jem only?
The contest is open to all characters. The design does not need to feature Jem; a Misfit look would definitely have “Universal Appeal” baby!
Who can enter the fashion contest?
The fashion contest is open to everybody around the world!
When do entries need to be received by?
Entries must be received by Friday, May 10th 2024 and submitted on the official template. They will be reviewed for originality, creativity and practicality for custom production. Each person is allowed up to two entries. Both entries must be submitted together.
How do I submit my entry?
Once your design is finished, please e-mail us the completed template at jemconforever@gmail.com along with a detailed description of the look you have created.
Who decides on the finalists?
The JemCon fashion committee (consisting of the JemCon chair, fashion coordinator and seamstresses) will evaluate all submissions for originality, creativity, and ease of execution. Remember the design must be manageable to sew in small scale, which is needed for designs to be accepted.
When are finalists notified?
Finalists will be posted on jemcon.xyz in May. At that time voting will be open to the general public.
When is the winning fashion announced?
The winning fashion will be announced sometime in June once voting has closed.
What does the winner designer get?
The winning fashion designer will receive design credit and their very own custom-made fashion, which will also be made available to JemCon 2024 attendees with registration for the 2024 convention.
