The Trash Fashion Design Challenge is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission. The purpose of this publicly-funded project is to strengthen design thinking skills in public schools, reaching students with unique materials and innovative curriculum. Please note, due to funding requirements this year’s competition is not open to students at charter schools, private schools, or homeschools.
