Makhulu
Polane (which loosely translated means Big Idea) was started in 2006 by
local fashion retailers Big Blue in an effort to discover and support
South African design talent. Winning designs from 2006 and 2007 sold
out and were reprinted several times and a number of the top 10 2007
Makhulu Polane designs are still being printed and sold. View last
year's ‘AfroKaaner' designs at www.bigblue.co.za/makhulu07_winner.html.
The
competition is not limited to submissions from registered students or
designers but is open to anyone who feels they have a unique t-shirt
design. While designs do not need to be digitally created, they do need
to be submitted via www.bigblue.co.za - hand drawn illustrations can be scanned and uploaded.
Go to www.bigblue.co.za for competition details and guidelines on how to submit your design. Closing date for submissions is 1 October.
