A JemCon 2026 Fashion Design Competition & Live Runway Show
This one's for the designers.
The Rock Fashion Runway Competition is JemCon 2026's official fashion design competition — a live, high-fashion runway show taking place Friday, September 11th at the DoubleTree Bayside Hotel in San Diego.
Inspired by the iconic "Rock Fashion Book" episode and the unapologetically bold fashion of the Jem universe, this competition invites designers to create original, wearable, Jem-inspired looks and bring them to life on a real runway — in front of a live audience, celebrity guests, and a night built for fashion that is, as always, truly outrageous.
How It Works
Submit your original Jem Universe-inspired design for consideration. Draw inspiration from any character, band, fashion line, episode, comic, film, or moment in the fandom — the only rule is that it has to be your own original, wearable creation.
Up to 10 finalists will be selected to construct their designs and walk the runway live at JemCon 2026. Finalists will also be featured throughout the show with bios, interviews, and their very own spotlight moment on stage.
Key Dates Submissions Open: March 3, 2026 Submissions Close: April 15, 2026 Finalists Announced: Mid-April 2026 Fashion Show: Friday, September 11, 2026
Prizes Details coming soon — but they're worth designing for. 👀
