CONTESTS :: JEMCON 2010

Here at JemCon, we like to encourage visitor and member participation and what better way to do that (and air your creative streak) than with a selection of fun contests.

So far, the following contests are taking place during JemCon 2010:

JemCon 2010 Fashion Design

JemCon 2010 Starlight Girls Fashion Design

JEMCON FASHION :: JEMCON 2010

One of the unique features of JemCon is the limited edition fashion produced for each convention, from a winning design chosen from entries submitted in the annual JemCon Fashion Design Contest.

Each fashion is designed and crafted to fit a 12½" fully-poseable fashion doll, and designed by a Jem™ fan specifically for the convention!

All money raised by the sale of the produced fashion (via the registration package and charity auction held during the weekend of the convention itself) will be donated to our designated charity, so this fun contest really is for a very good cause.

This year's fashion will once again be made by the extremely talented and wonderful Rachael (Jemgirl). The fashion will include a custom pair of Jem pumps; the color of which can be chosen by the designers in their submissions.

When is the JemCon 2010 Fashion Design Contest?
The main fashion design contest (for designers aged 16 years and over) closed on December 1st 2009 and went to the public vote on December 4th 2009.

What is the theme for this year's fashion design contests?
The theme this year for both the JemCon 2010 Fashion Design Contest and the JemCon 2010 "Starlight Girls" Fashion Design Contest is "Set Your Sails for New England". We're asking designers to add an element of sea-breezy adventure and elegant simplicity, that reflects this tropical theme.

And the winner is...
The winning design was announced on January 3rd, 2010. It was an extremely close contest but from the 10 finalists, Eugene Ocasio's entry crept ahead of the competition with only a few hours left to vote.

The JemCon 2010 "Starlight Girls" Fashion Design Contest (for designers aged 15 year and under) closed on February 15th, 2010.

What is the theme for this year's fashion design contests?
The theme this year for the JemCon 2010 "Starlight Girls" Fashion Design Contest is "Set Your Sails for New England". We're asking our young designers to add an element of sea-breezy adventure and elegant simplicity, that reflects this tropical theme.

The winning design was announced on March 1st, 2010. There were 38 wonderful entries but the overall winner was this 80s inspired sporty look by Alana R.

Alana will receive a fabulous prize-fund, very similar to the one our 2009 winner received last year. Please see our 2009 "Starlight Girls" Fashion Design Contest news article for last year's prize details.
