This year sees the return of the prestigious Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture competition for its seventh year. Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture is an all-island competition that encourages second level students to create unique, original and innovative outfits using only recycled material.

Bank of Ireland is extremely proud to support Junk Kouture and budding Irish designers for the fifth year running. Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture gives young people the unique opportunity to develop new design techniques and to meet others with similar interests. We’d like to wish the very best of luck to all contestants as they start their creative journeys.

The 2017 Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture recycled fashion competition is open to all secondary school students in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, who think that they’ve got what it takes to create outrageous couture designs from junk. Recycled milk cartons, old drink cans, fruit peel – it’s all at your fingertips so use it and possibly become part of the next generation of designers.

HAVE YOU GOTA FLAIR FORART & DESIGN?

Design Considerations

TIMEFRAME Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture 2017

will launch in Autumn 2016. If you’re a second-level student, we’re inviting you to create wearable art and outrageous couture outfits for men or women. Try to rework junk and other already used materials that are beyond their intended purpose. Aim to craft them into eye-catching bespoke fashion designs.

Once you and your team decide to enter, you need to read the rules of the competition on pages 10-11. Make sure you understand the rule concerning the number of people per team.

All material used in your design must consist of recycled or waste items. You can find detailed criteria in the Rules section.

• Each design must be durable to wear in rehearsals and during the fashion shows.

• Each design must be easily transported.

• Materials used in the design must not cause harm to yourself, to your model or to the public.

• No alcohol, cigarette or drug branding is allowed unless it is used to create awareness of the harms that these substances may cause.

• Entrants are prohibited from seeking external sponsorship to help promote their design.

• Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture is a family-friendly event. Keep this in mind when choosing both the design and the music that will be used during the fashion shows.

• The final design must be suitable for the model to ascend stairs that are approximately 3 feet wide.

Southern Regional Winner 2016Dress: You’re Not My TypeDesigners: Ellen McDonald,Ciara Carew, Paul RocheTeacher: Conor O’BrienSchool: Presentation De La Salle College, Bagenalstown

Do we need to involve our teacher and school?Yes. Due to our child protection policy and new theatre regulations all teachers, guardians and staff with access to behind-the-scenes will need to upload their Garda or PSNI vetting certificate and photo prior to the live show.

• You must give the name and contact details of your art teacher or other applicable teacher from your school when submitting your design.

• The named teacher will be given a free backstage pass to any show you qualify for.

• Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture will verify the teacher’s identity with the school as they will need to provide ID at each show in order to be admitted backstage and to comply with child protection regulations.

• If you win, the named teacher on your application form will receive recognition prizes.

11

When submitting your design for the selection process, the following must be completed and uploaded to the website www.boijunkkouture.com. The online application will open on January 9th 2017 and will close at midnight on January 27th 2017. (Incomplete applications will not be considered). The 2017 regional finalists will be announced at 7:00pm on Tuesday 14th February 2017 via the Bank of Ireland students Facebook page.

1. Online application form – include names of the design team and please specify who the model is (maximum of three students) and one teacher.

2. A minimum of two photographs per design - full length front and back (see “Photograph Tips” below).

3. A brief description of your design (maximum of 30 words), which could include the idea behind your design, the materials used, how it was made and how it promotes sustainability, etc. (This description will be used as an introduction to your design, if it reaches the live finals, so please proof read).

The uploaded photographs will represent your completed design, which the judges will inspect, and they will be used in the online voting if it reaches the next stage, so follow these tips for optimum results:

• Photograph the design on a person or a mannequin (full length front and back views).

• Ensure that one of the photographs has an up-close view of the materials used/ detailed craftsmanship.

• Take the photographs under good lighting conditions to prevent blurring or shadows.

• A maximum of ten photographs per entry can be submitted – ensure there is a variety of shots showing the most important aspects of your design.

Please note: Photograph 1 that you upload will be used to represent your design for the online vote, if you are chosen to proceed to the regional finals.

4. A 60 second music clip that relates to your design. This will be used on the catwalk if you make it through to the further stages of the competition. Choose wisely as music cannot be changed.

5. When students are uploading their design they must state where they sourced their materials (please keep in mind all materials should be recycled - not new).

Please note: Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture may contact you regarding your music choice if we feel it is inappropriate or if other designs have used the same song. In this case you can then choose an alternative piece of music.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY DESIGN ENTRY?

12

Once your application form and relevant material has been successfully uploaded on time, the panel of judges from Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture will inspect the online entries and select approximately 80 designs from each region to compete in the semi-finals.

This decision will be based on the following:

• Designs must be made out of 100% recycled materials. (Glue, thread, staples and other methods of construction are permitted, as are visible undergarments such as tights, socks and underwear).

• Designs should display creative innovation, originality and the “wow” factor.

• Designs should be made from a unique use of materials – choose waste-diverting not resource consuming. Buying things to create your own trash is prohibited!

• Designs should show quality craftsmanship – judges will consider how well the design is constructed.

• Designs should make up an entire outfit, including accessories rather than just one piece.

• All successful applicants will be listed on the BOI students Facebook page at 7pm on the 14th of February 2017 (an email will also be sent out to all entrants on the 15th February 2017).

• The overall presentation of the design at the shows, including the model’s performance/walk, the music choice and the visual impact, will also be judged.

No. Only one model is permitted on the catwalk at the grand final. Hand held accessories such as hats, bags, umbrellas etc. are permitted.

• The judges will choose 19 designs from each region to go through to the grand final in the 3Arena. Four wildcards (1 from each region) will be announced the week after the regional final has been held.

• All semi-finalists and the grand finalists will go through an online public voting system which can be accessed through www.facebook.com/boistudents. The regional finalists online vote will take place from 9am on Monday 20th February 2017 until midnight on Friday 24th of February 2017. (The grand final online vote dates will be released after the finalists have been announced).

• 10% of a design’s regional final and grand final points will be earned from the online votes with the remaining 90% being awarded by the panel of judges.

Please note: Appropriate undergarments must be worn at all times. Points will be deducted if this is not adhered to.

• The name and details of the new teacher need to be emailed to the Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture team ([email protected]), preferably a week before the show.

• Ensure that the model is comfortable and confident in wearing the design and can walk in appropriate shoes to your chosen music on a catwalk.

• You and your team are responsible for the model’s hair, make-up and accessories (no hairdressers or make-up artists who are not part of the team will be given backstage access).
