About Project OR:
Project OR is a design competition held by Outdoor Retailer that celebrates the functionality, originality and design of outdoor recreation clothing. Outdoor Retailer hand-pick's five design students from top design programs around the country to produce a garment prototype that is original, an innovative use of performance and eco-friendly materials, and has a practical application for the outdoor market.
Once initial garment designs are complete on the first day, contestants turn their drawings into products using the latest fabrics, zippers and other clothing components provided by participating supplier exhibitors (to view list of suppliers click here). With sourcing complete, contestants spend the remainder of the 48-hour deadline at their work station (equipped with sewing machines, cutting tables, pressing equipment and tools) building their final prototypes.
Project OR competitors are filmed in a reality-competition type format that begins with an initial Design Brief and follows them through the conception, sourcing, production and final presentation stages of the competition. Video footage of each day of the competition will be posted to this page by 12:00pm that day (see below).
Project OR’s panel of judges, comprised of OR-selected designers and industry trend-setters, will review each contestant’s final prototype and presentation, and announce the winner on Friday July 24th. The winning student will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Outdoor Retailer Winter Market '10 and a profile in Textile Intelligence. In addition, show attendees will vote on contestant’s final prototypes and the one with the most votes will win the 2009 Project OR People’s Choice Summer Market Award.
