Who is eligible for participation:

ONLY one student (from any disciplinary program connected to fashion) can be nominated from each IFFTI Member Institution. Student must be at undergrad level as of March 2020.

A strong interest in a social justice topic and in collaborative problem solving are all that is needed.

NOTE: Graduate students should apply to the Paper and non-paper submissions and the Wearing Justice Exhibition rather than the Student Hackathon.
