Edited by Terrance Kibiloski
CTIA WIRELESS 2007, the premier event for everything wireless, announced they are accepting submissions for the second annual Fashion In Motion Scholarship Award Program for college technology, fashion and design students. The focus of this student or class project is to combine wireless technology and fashion to produce products with a vision of the future in wearable wireless communication technology.
Fashion In Motion is a couture-style daily runway show, where models will display the wireless devices and accessories on the market today, as well as futuristic fashions of tomorrow. Participating wireless companies include Chatt and Panda International.
Entries will be judged on the following criteria: innovation and creativity; viability; applicability to culture and lifestyle; and fashion and style. Entry submissions should be sent to Bonnie Knight of CTIA at bknight@ctia.org. For more information on the program visit: http://ctiait.ctia.org/FIMw2007/entry/ . The deadline for submissions is February 2, 2007.
Participants are encouraged to submit their designs of either existing or prototype products, to be judged by leaders from the technology and fashion industries. Selected products will be featured at Fashion In Motion taking place during CTIA WIRELESS March 27-29, 2007 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. The winner will be showcased in the finale runway show and receive a $10,000 scholarship provided by CTIA.
Last year's winner of the $10,000 Fashion In Motion Scholarship was Manon Maneenawa of the University of Bridgeport, for his prototype design of the Triple Watch Cell Phone.
