Phase Two

Submissions

Once an applicant has completed the application form online, this will be reviewed and the candidate will be notified by email whether the application has been accepted.

Guidance notes for submitting samples will be included in a candidate’s application confirmation email. Please do not submit samples unless specifically requested to do so.

Applicants may be asked to submit up to six samples from their current collection, which will be considered alongside the application to reach the final shortlist.

Those on the final shortlist are then invited to be interviewed with our selection panel. Following this stage of interviews, the final recipients are selected.

Additional Information

A panel of at least 12 judges is selected each season which includes key opinion formers, media, buyers and representatives from the BFC and Topshop.

The panel is there in an advisory capacity only. There may be certain cases where the BFC feels a particular applicant may or may not be suitable for Newgen sponsorship, and the BFC reserves final say.
