Australian fashion label Proud Poppy is on the search for a new print design

Australian fashion label Proud Poppy is on the search for a new print design to feature in its upcoming summer collections. 

The winner of the Proud Print Project will receive a cash prize of $2,500, with $500 in runner up prizes.

It comes following a range of collaborations between Proud Poppy and a range of artists and print designers such as Kasey Rainbow, Dustin Koa and Maggi McDonald.

"Supporting up-and-coming creative talent is something that is really important to me,” founder Tara McKeon said. “Incorporating potentially uncovered artistic skills into our newest designs will not only support artists to be seen by eyes on a global scale, but also allows our customers access to art in the form of wearable pieces. 

“It's a win win for everyone involved and something I am so excited to see come to life.”

The creative brief for the competition can be found on the Proud Poppy website, with four print categories to choose from: Boho, Abstract, Conversational and Floral. 

Entries close at 11:59pm on Sunday, May 5.

Upon closure, Proud Poppy will create a shortlist and go out to its community to vote for their pick to put into production.

Submissions must include a brief bio on the artist and their creative style, a design statement on their submission, and mood board for the design. 

The competition is open to anyone over the age of 16, no matter their location.

Proud Poppy is a direct-to-consumer brand, selling both online and in standalone stores, two in Queensland and one in Victoria. Its Toowoomba location is currently closed due to relocating.
