Presented by the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, the Wearable Art Awards competition has been encouraging local, Canadian and international artists of all mediums to submit evocative, imaginative, and thought provoking creations for the human body since 2002. Accepted works are juried in a two-step process by a panel of jurors drawn from the fashion and textile industry.
To begin, each piece is examined for its creativity, originality, skill in construction and conceptual idea.The final jurying takes place at the performance presentation during which the works are modeled to a live audience and their "wow" factor and presence on the red carpet is evaluated.
The performance is followed up by a three-week long exhibition at the end of which a "People's Choice" award is presented based on votes from the public. In total $5,000 is distributed between winners of 10 category and special awards.
