HA NOI (VNS) — Emerging fashion designers are being encouraged to compete for the Young Creative Entrepreneur (YCE) Fashion and Design 2014 Award in London.

The country competition, launched by the British Council and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, aims to celebrate young talent working in creative industries.

The candidates must present their own achievements, have an understanding of the industry and describe why they consider themselves a fashion or design entrepreneur.

The country winner will participate in a shared tour of the UK's fashion and design sector from September 10 to 17.

There will also be a specially curated programme of networking events and master class sessions which will introduce the YCE winner to peers and media experts in the UK. The winner will have a chance to engage with the UK market and lay the groundwork for future creative business collaborations.

The deadline for submitting the application is May 31. — VNS
