Find quick answers about eligibility, submissions, judging, categories, and winner recognition before entering the French Fashion Awards.
Entries are submitted fully online. Register or sign in, complete the online submission form, upload the required files or URLs, then add the entry to your cart and proceed to checkout. The same entry may be submitted to multiple categories for an additional fee. Up to 10 images and one PDF file, each below 4MB, may be included.
The competition is open to fashion designers, fashion brands, textile innovators, stylists, accessory creators, creative and marketing professionals, fashion houses, design teams, independent designers, manufacturers, and students. Entrants must be aged 18 or above and may reside anywhere in the world.
A synopsis of approximately 350 words is recommended. Use the brief to explain the work, its creativity and originality, and any context that helps the jury understand the project. Non-English entries should include a written translation or adaptation.
No. There is no limit to the number of entries an entrant may submit to the French Fashion Awards.
Yes. The same work may be entered into as many relevant categories as you see fit. An additional category fee applies for each extra category.
Yes. Work that has previously been submitted to or won another competition may still be entered. The French Fashion Awards nevertheless encourages entrants to submit new work to support a fresh flow of ideas.
Yes. You may continue editing your entry after payment up until the judging period begins.
Judging is blind. Entrant information is removed from submissions to help prevent bias and conflicts of interest, and the evaluation process is designed to remain impartial and free from outside influence.
Entries are evaluated on the criteria relevant to their category rather than being directly compared with other entries. Scores determine the winning level: Platinum is 85–100 points, Gold is 70–84 points, and Silver is 50–69 points. Entries averaging below 50 do not receive an award.
Winner recognition includes professionally designed certificates and winner marks, exposure through the official winner gallery and promotional channels where applicable, and opportunities for additional publicity. Special Recognition of the Year winners receive a complimentary Maia trophy and professionally designed certificate, while other winners may purchase a Maia statuette or additional customised certificates.
