A big thank you to all who took part.

You can still view all entries and share the ones you like!

    Welcome to the first ever Contrado design competition. To kick off what we hope will be the first of many contests to push your creativity, and to celebrate our beautiful ever-changing world; we are looking at Transition. We want you to create a design based on your interpretation of what the word “transition” means to you, for your chance to win some mega prizes.


    Whether you are a painter, a designer, a fine artist, a surface print designer, a photographer, an illustrator… or anything else, we want YOU to get involved! No matter what your background or level is, we want to see your designs, what “transition” means to you and for you to inspire us.


    The theme is totally open to your creative interpretation. All you need to do is design a repeat pattern for fabric based on what “transition” means to you. From colour gradients to political change, from seasons to sexuality, from physical journeys to personal ones; there are no boundaries, so let your interpretation and your creativity run wild.
