Program Description

The Wear it Wise Sustainable Fashion Challenge (“Challenge”) aims to increase awareness of the impacts of the global fashion industry and inspire consumers to adopt ethical and environmentally conscious behavior. The Challenge engages participants as leaders to drive awareness through campaigns that cater to their community’s interests and culture (“Participant”). By participating in the Challenge, all Participants agree to the following rules, which must be adhered to in order to participate.

Overview

The Challenge is a campaign competition where eligible Participants (see General Rules below) submit campaign ideas via an online application and choose a campaign format of either a digital campaign or live campaign. These campaign ideas are expanded upon through a webinar series. Participants execute their campaigns from February through mid-April 2019. After the campaigns are completed, Participants report on their results at the end of the Challenge by submitting their Final Report by late April.

The Challenge structure is as follows: Applicants submit initial campaign proposals along with descriptions of their qualifications. All applicants are notified in writing of acceptance or rejection. Accepted applicants become participants. Participants refine their campaign focus and their tactics, attend web-based trainings, and submit their findings in the form of a final report. Final Reports will be reviewed by Net Impact staff and Top Challenge reports will be evaluated by a panel of subject matter experts. Work will be evaluated in response to a published scorecard to be shared with all Participants in writing. Prizes will be provided directly to the Challenge winner(s). Winners will be notified within 10 days of judging.
