BurdaStyle is thrilled to announce their first BurdaStyle Design Competition. As an open source website, they are hoping to facilitate more creative opportunities for the sewing community all over the world. Now they’ve come up with the perfect way for you to contribute to the site as well as to your own trophy case, or in this case, pattern library. Send them your designs and they will choose two winners to have their patterns professionally created, shot in a photo shoot, featured on BurdaStyle.com, and downloaded by other BurdaStyle users.

There are two categories to the contest. If you like to design, submit an illustration and tech drawing with specifications. If you feel more confident with patternmaking, make the pattern instead. Design-based winner receives US $300, pattern-based winner receives US $500. Deadline 15 June. Visit the site for details.
