• Create a single garment or a whole outfit for a specific character from a piece of written literature – eg poem, novel, short story, graphic novel (No film/TV or Video games).
• Any genre is acceptable: fantasy, historical, sci-fi, thriller, romance, steampunk etc.
• This piece of literature can be from any culture and in any language - as long as it is published and available to be read somewhere by the judges and voting members. A very brief precis of the character/story should be submitted with the design.
• So long as it existed as a book/poem/story first, it’s fine if your chosen piece of literature has subsequently been used as the basis for a movie, play, opera, animated series or TV show.
• Recreations of other artists' or designers' existing illustrations are allowed, but will not be considered as innovative as your own original design by the judges. The original artist/designer should be credited in your submission.

This is as much about exhibiting your work as it is a "competition", so relax and enjoy the process. Enter the thing you want to make and will have fun doing! Don't get too hung up on "is this allowed?" The chances are it the answer will be yes; just read the guidelines again... but the competition is also an opportunity to push yourself, experiment and think outside the box.
