Young designers from across Europe can now apply for the Next Generation Digital Fashion Award 2025. Organized by the European Cultural Forum in cooperation with FashionTEX, this year’s award is themed “Fashion for Future” and seeks creative talents who combine digital tools, sustainable materials, and innovative ideas to shape the fashion of tomorrow.

We are looking for designs that impress both virtually and physically – from 3D creations to interactive collections and smart textiles. A panel of fashion, technology, and sustainability experts will nominate several finalists who will present their projects on November 7, 2025, at the FashionTEX Festival in Chemnitz.

Submissions are open until October 1, 2025. All information on eligibility, evaluation criteria, and submission guidelines can be found in the application form.
