Information

Front Row Society bags are one-of-a-kind pieces with only 100 limited edition bags being produced and sold. Each winner of a design competition at Front Row Society is invited to receive 10% of the sales revenue from the product on which their pattern has been printed. Alternatively, the winner has the option of taking a one-off immediate prize of $1350/€1000/£850 for the bag competition and $500/€350/£300 for the scarf competition.

We will also conduct an interview with the winner, publicising their design across the international blogger community, the international fashion & design press, Front Row Society community members and to the fashion community in Berlin.

FRS takes the average score and the number of votes into account. We take the top 10 designs with the highest average. We also make sure that the top 10 designs have received a significant number of votes. Then the FRS’ design panel chooses the winner from this list.

And please keep in mind and give us a hand: have all your files ready in case you’re lucky enough to get a whooping email from us saying you’re (one of) the winner, and send them our way within two days of the announcement.

So, you’re wondering what we need…easy peasy:

• High res jpeg 250-300 dpi at full scale (which is provided in the design package)
• Pantone breakdown of colors
• Repeat pattern if using that method (instead of fixed)
• Description of your inspiration – to be printed as the inspiration cards
• Your digital signature for our inspiration cards (that go along with your winning design)

Theme

Every city has its special hidden details that make it unique and one of a kind. They are usually unseen by many and unnoticed by most, but the local dwellers of the avenues know the details well. What is a detail in your city which sets it apart from others in an unobvious way? Is it that sidewalks are painted blue, is it a particular insignia, or is it the chimney tops? Open our eyes and show us the unseen and unnoticed details of your city.

In the unlikely event that we cannot produce your pattern the way you designed it we will communicate with you about alterations. However, we will do everything we can to ensure that the winning design is accurately produced. Front Row Society will select a winner from the ten designs that receive the highest scores.

Designs must be original and not have been entered in other competitions.
