the world of wearableart (wow) competition

The World of WearableArt Competition invites designers and creators from around the globe to create the unimaginable, challenge the conventional and defy creative expectations. For over 35 years, finalists' extraordinary works of art have then come to life in the spectacular annual WOW Show.

The WOW Show is a world-class theatrical extravaganza seen by an audience of over 60,000 annually. This exhilarating performance, described as Broadway meets Cirque Du Soleil, sees the stage come alive with incredible works of wearable art, dancers, aerialists, music, lights, and AV.

WOW showcases works of wearable art created by designers from across the globe. Each garment seen on stage is a finalist in our internationally renowned wearable art competition. WOW offers an opportunity to express innovation, originality and to push the boundaries of creativity on a world stage.

Each year, winners of WOW Awards are added to an incredible collection of garments.
