This year the challenge is open to post-secondary students throughout Metro Vancouver, plus UBC staff, alumni and the Musqueam community. 

How to enter: Craft an outfit that addresses re-use/circularity, local production, and/or sustainable materials & processes. Choose your category—Casual, Workwear, Ceremonial, or Curious—and submit online via the button below until February 25, 2026.
