The Categories

The Apex Australia Teenage Fashion Awards are open to all schools, both private and government throughout Australia. All schools are contacted and invited to participate in the program.

The competition comprises of four key categories:

Casual Wear

This category covers all general daywear including sports wear, beachwear and leisure wear. This category is technically judged.

Formal Wear

This section covers all types of clothing worn to Balls or Gala events and includes garments suitable for after 5pm, graduation ceremonies or evening wear. This category is technically judged.

Wearable Art

This section allows the entrant’s full creative talents to be paraded. Construction and material is left to the imagination of the entrant. This category is not technically judged.

Society & Environment

This category allows the entrants to portray a garment depicting a civilization, a background or surrounding. This garment could be an opportunity for the student to make a statement on an issue that they are passionate about.  The category will be judged on the same criteria as the wearable art section.
