Anyone from the Permian Basin is encouraged to apply, not just Odessa citizens.
A committee will select the top 30 designs from each category and those designs will be allowed to participate in the fashion show.
Entrants will be judged on their use of recycled or reused/repurposed items as well as execution.
Designs must feature a minimum of 50% recycled or repurposed items.

If accepted, designers must submit a portfolio including a sketch of their design, a 30 second video of the modeling design and two pictures, one each of the front and back of the piece.
The deadline for the portfolio submission is October 16.
