Easton Pearson Scholarship 2003

ENTRIES NOW CLOSED :

Thanks to the generosity of Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson, the creative duo behind the internationally recognised label, 'Easton Pearson', we are offering a scholarship of up to $1000 to enable a fashion design student (currently enrolled in an Australian tertiary institution) the opportunity to attend the first international fashion conference to be held in Australia.

For more information about the keynote speakers Valerie Steele (Fashion and Eroticism), chief curator from The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York; Christopher Breward from the London College of Fashion and author of Capital Fashion: Clothing in the Life of a City; and Elizabeth Wilson, author of Adorned in Dreams, please click here or on the tab for speakers at the top of this page.

For further information regarding the conference you can view the rest of the website for program, registration and general information about Brisbane.

We are calling for entries from fashion design students currently enrolled in courses at registered Australian tertiary institutions. To compete for the scholarship all you have to do is
1. Indicate in 500 words (max.) how you believe, as a student of fashion design, you would benefit from attending a conference that explores issues around fashion, dress and consumption.

2. Complete the entry form attached and provide proof of your current enrolment status at a registered tertiary institution and/or copy of current student ID.

3. Return the entry form by 16 May to:
Liz Ferrier,
School of English, Media Studies and Art History,
University of Queensland, St Lucia, 4072. Australia.

Selection criteria: Judges will award the scholarship to the entrant whose application best indicates their likeliness to benefit - in intellectual and creative development - from attendance at this conference.

The winner must be available to travel to Brisbane for the conference in July. The Scholarship may be awarded to one student in its entirety, or be divided between several students depending on the distance the winner/s would need to travel to attend.
