A small sample of the print submissions from this year’s student competition run by Think Positive
On Monday night the results of Think Positive’s annual student textile competition were announced at the opening of the exhibition for this year’s talented design and fabric printing graduates from Ultimo TAFE, appropriately titled ‘Sensory’.
This year is the first year for Think Positive’s print design competition, inviting students to submit an original textile print in repeat. This year’s winners were decided by our esteemed judging panel including Emilie Cacace (the creator of Andéol and right and left helping hand here at Think Positive), George Barnes (Art Director at Something Else) and Deborah Mitchell from Inspire Australia.
The winners received a 3-metre length of their design in a fabric of their choice to be displayed at the exhibition and a printing credit:
1st Place – $1500 printing credit
2nd Place – $1000 printing credit
Sponsors Choice – $1000 credit
For the exhibition the students use their amazing textiles to breath new life into recycled furniture. As a proud industry sponsor it is exciting for us to see what they have created with their work.
What a great night! Congratulations to this year’s winners Natalie Atkinson (1st place), Josefine Brood (2nd place) and Alison Barracluff (sponsor’s choice).
Winner – Natalie Atkinson
2nd Place winner Josefine Brood
Sponsors choice – Alison Barracluff
